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.
For other uses, see Leia (disambiguation). Leia Organa Solo (born Leia Amidala Skywalker), a Force-sensitive Human female was at various stages of her life, a politician, revolutionary, and Jedi Knight of the New Jedi Order.
The first reason that Reva didn't realize Leia was Force-sensitive was the nature of the mind probe. When using the Force power, the user infiltrates a victim's mind to try and view their thoughts and memories, but the power isn't completely compelling.
You see Leia use the force in several instances. When Luke reached out to her on Bespin, she felt him in the force and guided Lando to him. Even as late as episode 7, you see Leia's reaction when she felt Han die. While Leia never trained as a Jedi, new canon/as far as we know, she is most definitely a force user.
Abrams says Princess Leia chose not to train in the ways of the Force. In the films, while Luke trains to become a powerful Jedi, Princess Leia is kept busy by essential duties of her own. Later, as the leader of the Resistance, General Organa has her hands full with tasks that don't involve any use of the Force.
The Jedi however also have three outliers in that of Luke, Leia, and Cade Skywalker (23000/23000/21000 midi-chlorians respectively) all of which were children/descendants of Anakin Skywalker (the chosen one) and so genetically predisposed to having abnormally-high midi-chlorian counts for Jedi.
Even untrained, Leia is a powerful Force-sensitive who can, with difficulty, block powerful dark side users from viewing her thoughts and memories. It's this ability that explains why Vader had his own problems interrogating his daughter years later.
Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One born of a mother but no father, had more midi-chlorians than any Force-sensitive of his era, surpassing all Jedi and even Yoda at over twenty-thousand.
Throughout her encounters with Kenobi in the series, he refers to himself as Ben. The most straightforward explanation would be that Leia knows the person who rescued her is Ben, and never connected the dots that Ben is actually Obi-Wan.
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.
5. Love triangles and awkwardness — The Empire Strikes Back wasn't the first inkling that Luke and Leia had feelings for each other. Their romance was heavily alluded to in A New Hope, what with all of Luke's suggestive facial expressions to Han whenever Leia was around, and Han's clear attraction to Leia.
An alleged leak, via Inverse, from Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker's abandoned plotlines sidelines Leia's Jedi training for the sake of her child. Her commitment to the cosmos and her unrelenting determination to defend them occupied her priorities.
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.
He either didn't realize it was the same protocol droid or figured he'd been memory-wiped so FUNCTIONALLY wasn't the same droid and didn't care.
Reva knows that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader because she was one of his targets—a child—during the Order 66 killings that took place during the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Mitth'raw'nuruodo, better known as Thrawn, is probably one of the most infamous non-Force users in the Star Wars saga. His talents and abilities allow him to rise through the ranks of the xenophobic Imperial military to become their highest ranking officer.
Leia's ordeal. In the rough draft of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, Darth Vader tortures Princess Leia with powerful electroshocks. In the incarnation of the second draft of A New Hope, Leia is replaced by Deak Starkiller, the brother of Luke Starkiller (who would become Luke Skywalker in later drafts).
Why didn't Darth Vader recognise Leia as his daughter in Star Wars: Episode IV? He didn't recognize her because he didn't know his daughter was alive, and he couldn't tell it from reading her mind because she wasn't aware of it herself.
While Princess Leia Organa may have been coached from birth to follow in her mother's footsteps, the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi show that the young princess was far more similar in temperament to her infamous father, Anakin Skywalker.
According to the chart key, the minimum count needed for a person to become a Jedi was 7,000, with an average count for a Jedi of 10,000.
That said, both Yoda and Yaddle have a high midi-chlorian count in their blood. Yoda's m-count was roughly 18000, while Yaddle's was closer to 12000. It is reasonable to assume that whatever species they are a part of, it is a deeply Force-sensitive one.
Originally Answered: Hypothetically, what do you estimate is Rey's midi chlorian count? 14,000 midichlorians. Anakin had over 20,000 midichlorians and his children had 18,000 each. This means that midichlorian counts reduce with each generation, when a force sensitive has kids with a non force sensitive.
