In Part III, Leia revealed her knowledge about the adoption, only that she didn't know about her birth, which explained her unsurprised response when Luke told her that they were brother and sister in Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi also provided an explanation about how Leia gradually "lost" her Skywalker heritage.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence. "Sister," the Emperor taunted.
Alderaan's princess knew she had been adopted by Bail and Breha Organa after the Clone Wars, but she had no idea who her parents were. That was until Luke Skywalker told her the truth - that he was the son of Darth Vader, and that she was his sister.
Yes, they did. Eventually, Leia contact her good friend Pooja Naberrie to discuss her mother so they definitely knew about Padmé Amidala and the fact she was their biological mother.
With Leia's strong connection to the Force, it seems like the most likely solution to this inconsistency is that she's caught glimpses of her mother through Force visions. As Luke trains with Yoda on Dagobah during Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, the wise old master says, "Through the Force, things you will see.
In Star Wars Legends Leia was visited by the force ghost of her father Anakin Skywalker, the man who used to be Darth Vader. It wasn't a pleasant meeting as Leia was unable to forgive him for the things he'd done no matter how hard he begged, and it was the only time she saw him.
No. Neither Luke nor Leia found out they were siblings until the third film, Return of the Jedi. Indeed, it wasn't decided that they were siblings until the making of that film (because Lucas no longer wanted to make further sequels about a search for Luke's sister, and decided to wrap everything up with Jedi).
Why did Darth Vader not sense Leia was his daughter?
Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection. Vader's denial of Anakin Skywalker's legacy and his fear of getting hurt again prevented him from realizing the truth about his children until later in the original trilogy.
Leia's "memories" of Padmé could be glimpses of her mother's emotions and presence at the moment of her birth, echoing through the Force. Dreams and Visions: Leia might have experienced dreams or visions throughout her life that provided her with glimpses of her mother.
Luke and Leia never sensed that they were twins until Return of the Jedi despite both being sensitive to the Force. Anakin Skywalker's twin children are the original Star Wars trilogy's driving force, having been separated after Padme's death.
Yes. In Truce at Bakura, Anakin's ghost appeared to Leia, begging for her forgiveness. She rejected him. Only by Tatooine Ghost did she start to come around to the father underneath the suit, just in time for her to finally have kids in the Thrawn Trilogy.
Bail Organa was present during the climactic end of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and there can be no doubt he was aware of Darth Vader's true identity.
Leia and Han had three children, and they named their youngest son Anakin after Anakin Skywalker, Leia's biological father. Since Luke was the twin to spend more time with Obi-Wan in the old canon, it made sense that he, not Leia, was the one to honor Obi-Wan when naming his child.
Here, Vader employs mind-altering drugs and subliminal suggestion in his sessions with the princess, which make Leia believe that her skin is on fire and her flesh being torn apart, causing the same reaction the real thing would. An altered version was presented in the current Star Wars canon.
Following the Wampa attack during the movie's opening scenes on Hoth; Leia, Han, and Chewie visit Luke in the infirmary. Leia is annoyed with Han, who insists she has feelings for him, so she kisses Luke to prove she doesn't. Presumably, the scene was simply meant to make Han jealous.
