The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

> A long time ago, in a galaxy extremely far away, Anakin
> Skywalker got someone (presumably his wife) pregnant.
> We know what happened to him, we know what happened to
> his kids.  What I want to know, All-Knowing One, is:
> What happened to his wife?
>
> All I can think of is:
> 1) Senator Organa killed her
> 2) She died some unspecified time ago of natural causes
> 3) She disappeared into a black hole and was never seen again.
>
> Nobody ever mentions her name, do they?  Is this some kind of
> galactic conspiracy?  What is the secret behind Luke and Leia's
> mother?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Historians studying that long ago time, are divided on this issue.
}
} The first group, realizing that technology was very advanced, believes
} that Obi-Wan Kenobe was the mother, and that she had a sex change as
} was required by the sexist Jedi Knights before becoming one.
}
} Others believe that Yoda's wife, Yodette (Also known as
} YodalYodalLeiaWho, notice the third name) had an affair with Anakin.
} Yoda was so enraged that he attacked Anakin, maiming him, and forcing
} him to don a Black mask, and join the dark side of the force, the Jedi
} Scum.
}
} Other possibilities include Jabba the Hut's wife, Pizza Hut, and
} Chewbacca's wife, Chewin-Tobacco.
}
} What happened to this mysterious Lady?  The third group has an
} explanation.  It is believed that Anakin had an affair with Amy
} Fisher (was Carrie Fisher named after her?), and that Amy Fisher
} killed Anakin's wife.
}
} You owe the Oracle a '94 Buick Imperial Walker.
