While both Leia and Luke knew they were not being raised by their biological parents, the franchise has never explicitly made clear how much the two characters knew about their mother, Padmé Amidala, or their father, Anakin Skywalker.
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.
Leia may have initially trained as a Jedi, but she never desired a relationship with Anakin Skywalker's Force ghost. Claudia Gray's novel Bloodline established that Leia struggled with the knowledge that Darth Vader was her father, as her memories of the Dark Lord of the Sith were the stuff of nightmares.
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.
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.
Jaina Solo is the eldest child of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, created by Timothy Zahn for the Thrawn trilogy of Star Wars expanded universe novels. Leia is pregnant with twins in Heir to the Empire (1991) and Jaina and her twin brother Jacen are born in The Last Command (1993).
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.
It is believed that Leia didn't have actual memories of their mother, but visions of her through the Force, which she believed to be memories. As Leia was born after Luke, if he didn't remember her, she wouldn't either.
Maternal Bond Through the Force: Padmé's deep love for her children and her powerful connection to the Force could have created a robust and unique bond between her and the newborn twins. This bond might have allowed Leia to subconsciously sense or even "remember" her mother's emotions, feelings, and presence.
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.
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.
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).
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.
In canon, Vader found out because Luke told Boba Fett that he was “Luke Skywalker.” This was explained in the canon comic Star Wars (2015) 5. Vader only sensed Leia was Luke's sister because Luke was thinking about her on the Death Star II. When Vader tortu…
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.
He eventually became so desperate to find a way to prevent Padmé from dying that his fear was ultimately the main reason that led to his fall to the dark side. Vader screaming for the loss of Padmé. Even as a Sith Lord, Anakin still loved Padmé very much, but felt great guilt for his actions against her.
Darth Vader acts like he doesn't even know C-3PO or R2D2. They were with him since he was a child. He did everything he could to forget his past. Also, his plating had been replaced many times, and protocol droids all look very similar.
Luke's sister Leia had three children. Her youngest son Anakin died at an early age, sending his sister Jaina nearly over to the dark side, before she came back from the edge of darkness.
Although the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones established that the Jedi Order members couldn't marry or have children, Star Wars creator George Lucas explained that despite their monastic culture, the Jedi were permitted to have sexual intercourse as long they didn't form attachments or possessive ...
Although Solo was the last of the Skywalker bloodline, Rey assumed the name "Skywalker" to honor their memory, repudiating her own heritage as a Palpatine.
