How did they know the sexes of the babies?


Since they were both born wearing nappies.

And why didn't anyone know there were twins earlier? Don't they have ultrasound in the Star Wars galaxy?

In the original draft the babies force abilities were *beep* with the screens

Made it impossible to see them

These are obviously plot holes!

I'm joking, though.

Since they were both born wearing nappies.
O, right. There's no way the midwife droid could've possibly clothed each baby as soon as each baby exited the birth canal. I'm guessing the scene was shot and edited in such a way that the answer to the question was effectively omitted. But also suspect that whatever the droid was speaking had something to do with identifying the sexes of the babies.

Padmé was so busy with her government work that she couldn't be bothered to use the portable EZ Scan ultrasound machine located right in her Coruscant domicile. Nobody had the fortitude to ask he why her belly was so big.
