In Star Wars LegendsLeia 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.
Darth Vader may have never known Princess Leia was his daughter in Star Wars and never cultivated a relationship with her, even when he was a Force ghost. Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife.
In Bloodline, Leia does sort of come to terms with Anakin/Vader. It is not forgiveness, really (this is the man who watched her planet get blown up, tortured her, tortured her husband, and was a known ruthless killer of dozens if not hundreds of people).
Leia is Anakin's youngest child and only daughter, besides being Luke's twin sister. When Padmé informed him that she was pregnant with his child, he became very happy, unaware at the time that he had fathered twins.
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
Vader doesn't know he has children in 'A New Hope. ' When Vader and Leia interact in A New Hope, Vader doesn't yet know he is her father. In fact, at this point in the story, Vader doesn't even know his children are alive at all.
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.
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred, and pain, fueling his descent even further into the Dark Side.
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.
It's clear that Darth Vader wishes that Padmé joined him so that they could have remained together. But there are moments in Marvel's other Darth Vader series that suggest that, while the Sith Lord is very much still obsessed with the idea of Padmé, her betrayal may have caused him to think ill of his late wife.
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.
Similarly, her rebellious, rule-breaking and trouble-making nature resembled Anakin more than Padmé. However, both parents were adventurous and stubborn people.
No, Anakin was never made aware that he had children until he is initially confronted with Luke, and then suspects between ANH and ESB that Luke is his son. Obi-Wan comments that "the Emporer knew, as I did, that if Anakin were to have any offspring they would be a threat to him.
Bail Organa and Obi-Wan fabricated Padme's death and the twins' story to keep Luke and Leia hidden after the events of Revenge of the Sith. By maintaining the secret, the twins remained safe, eventually allowing them to orchestrate the Emperor's downfall and the Rebellion's victory.
Han Solo marries Princess Leia and they have three children: twins named Jacen and Jaina, and a younger son named Anakin. Luke reestablishes the Jedi Order, marries a non-movie (but fan favorite) redheaded Force-wielder named Mara Jade, and they have a son, Ben Skywalker (named in honor of Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi).
Anakin secretly marries Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala at the end of the film. In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), Padme dies giving birth to twins, Luke and Leia. Luke is raised by Beru and Owen Lars on Tatooine. Leia is raised by Senator Bail Organa and Queen Breha Organa on Alderaan.
Leia was not using the Force or was currently Force-sensitive during her confrontation with Vader. She began training as a Jedi years later. All these reasons prove my point: Vader didn't know Leia was his daughter, and felt no presence of the Force in her, as she was not currently strong with the Force.
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.
