Summary. Darth Vader's failure to recognize Leia as his daughter in Star Wars: A New Hope stems from George Lucas's late decision to make Luke and Leia siblings. Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection.
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.
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.
New ‘Return of the Jedi’ footage CHANGES Darth Vader
Did Yoda know Luke was Anakin's son?
Yoda. Yoda's knowledge of Luke Skywalker's true parentage was also confirmed in Return of the Jedi. As with Obi-Wan, Yoda believed that Anakin's fall to the dark side made him unsalvageable, with the Darth Vader persona being his only identity following his ascension to Sith Lordship.
Owen and Beru Lars knew that Luke was Anakin Skywalker's son, but were not officially aware that Anakin and Vader were the same person. The Emperor did know that Anakin and Vader were the same person, but was not aware that any children had survived Padme's death.
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.
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.
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.
Summary. Darth Vader learns Luke Skywalker is his son shortly after A New Hope in canon and Legends comics. In canon, the reveal occurs in Marvel's Star Wars #6, where Vader vows to make Luke join him. In Legends, Vader's discovery is shown in Marvel's Star Wars #35, later expanded in Star Wars: Vader's Quest.
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).
Luke became famous after destroying the Death Star, putting him right in the crosshairs of the Empire. As The Empire Strikes Back picks up, Vader is obsessively searching for Luke, due to their familial connection.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
Anakin Skywalker is the son of Shmi Skywalker, the secret husband of Padmé Amidala, the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the father-in-law of Han Solo, and the maternal grandfather of Ben Solo.
At first, Ahsoka has no idea that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are one and the same. She discovers the truth in Star Wars Rebels when she encounters the Sith Lord in a space battle. What she senses is so shocking to her that she passes out.
How did Darth Maul know about Order 66 and Anakin's turn? He and Sid used to talk about the Great Plan and the visions of the future that Sid saw. Then he had great Force perceptions, spies, and resources to know what was currently happening in the galaxy.
Summary. The ending of The Rise of Skywalker sees Leia as a Force ghost, but it's never explained how she was trained to do this after her death. Leia's ability to become a Force ghost isn't far-fetched, as she had three Jedi Masters who could have taught her - Luke, Obi-Wan, and Yoda.
