During the iconic opening moments of Star Wars: A New Hope, Darth Vader has a tense confrontation with Princess Leia, an adversary who, unknown to him, is actually his daughter. Despite participating in Leia's interrogation, the Sith Lord doesn't uncover his familial connection with the rebellious royal.
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. Anakin, who has since become the Sith Lord Darth Vader, is unaware of his children's birth.
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.
He did know what Luke was his son, once he knew that Luke's last name was Skywalker. After Vader sensed the strength of the Force in Luke, he spent time trying to find the identity of the young Force-wielder who had destroyed the Death Star.
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 their affection had to remain hidden, the two kept in frequent contact, even throughout the Clone Wars. But despite this, Anakin found out that Padme was pregnant only a couple of weeks before the twins were born. So, why did it take so long for her to tell him?
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.
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.
In Legends, Luke and Leia do eventually discover their mother's identity during the Swarm War Trilogy.
During the iconic opening moments of Star Wars: A New Hope, Darth Vader has a tense confrontation with Princess Leia, an adversary who, unknown to him, is actually his daughter. Despite participating in Leia's interrogation, the Sith Lord doesn't uncover his familial connection with the rebellious royal.
Did Vader know Padme gave birth? - Quora. No. The mortician who worked on Padme's body made her appear as if she died pregnant, on Yoda's (passed down) request. This was to ensure that Vader and Sidious could never find out about Luke and Leia.
Leia doesn't get to reunite with Obi-Wan, and instead, just before escaping with Han and Luke, she sees his murder. Of course, Leia doesn't know Darth Vader is her father yet, either in A New Hope and certainly not in Obi-Wan Kenobi. But for the most part, the narrative focus of A New Hope is on Luke.
It is not stated. Palpatine knew of Padme's pregnancy and if he killed her, would have sensed her in childbirth.
Star Wars Just Confirmed Darth Vader's Undying Love for Padme Amidala. Star Wars: Darth Vader #23 revealed just how much Anakin Skywalker loved Padme Amidala even after his transformation into the Sith Lord.
It's well known that Star Wars lead characters Luke Skywalker and Princess (now General) Leia are brother and sister. The estranged siblings didn't know about their familial relationship until "Return of the Jedi." They even shared a passionate kiss in the previous movie, "The Empire Strikes Back."
The Third Sister was at the Jedi Temple during Order 66. She either saw Anakin kill her fellow Jedi or saw the recording of his crimes. That's why she has such hatred for Obi-Wan. She was a Padawan who escaped Order 66.
Arguably, most Star Wars plot points revolve around characters simply not knowing something, very often about their family history. But, on top of all of that, the biggest reason Obi-Wan doesn't know Anakin is alive is that the last time he saw Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith, Ben literally left him for dead.
The reason that Reva wants Obi-Wan is likely because she was a Jedi present during Order 66. In fact, she may have been one of the young children present in the opening scene during the massacre at the Jedi temple. She likely lost her family and friends, then turned to the dark side herself as an Inquisitor.
Over the years since the Youngling massacre, and even sometime before, Darth Vader has regretted killing the Younglings, recognizing that it was the most terrible thing he had ever done.
She later made use of a pale blue weapon and dueled and killed the fallen Hutt Jedi Beldorion with it on Nam Chorios. The third lightsaber Luke gifted her in 18 ABY had a ruby-red blade. Her fourth weapon was a blue-bladed lightsaber that she used throughout the Swarm War and thereafter.
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.
What Padmé knew about Anakin's previous dark deeds. Padmé was well aware that Anakin had committed dark crimes that would've started his fall to the dark side. He even confessed to her that he had massacred an entire Tusken Raider village to avenge his mother, leaving no one alive.
Although the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones established that the Jedi Order members could not marry or have children, Star Wars creator George Lucas explained that despite their monastic regime, the Jedi were permitted to have sexual intercourse as long they did not form attachments.
Attended by medical droids, Padmé Amidala gave birth to her twins Luke and Leia on Polis Massa. She died and the twins were split up, with Obi-Wan taking Luke to Tatooine and Bail Organa returning home to Alderaan with Leia.
