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.
Key details in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series connect to the original Star Wars movies, hinting Darth Vader knew and ignored Leia was his daughter.
The short answer is that creator George Lucas had no idea Leia would end up becoming Darth Vader's daughter. But Star Wars books and comics have tried to address the decades-old plot hole.
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.
Did he know about Leia as well? In short, yes. Darth Vader found out that Luke had a twin sister a few moments before his death. Leia also found out that Vader was her father when Luke told her on the bridge in the Ewok village.

Vader later learned that Luke was his son and that Amidala had indeed given birth, and he attempted to seduce Luke to the dark side of the Force.

Due to her powerful Force heritage, Leia, following her family's legacy, became a Jedi Knight in the New Jedi Order. She was partially trained by her brother Luke and later by Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne, who declared her a fully trained Knight at the end of the Swarm War.
after his father, but his mother, Leia decided to name the boy after his maternal grandfather, Anakin Skywalker. She wanted to redeem her father's name, and she also thought she could overcome her fear of Darth Vader by seeing, through her son, what her father could have been.
In the main Star Wars timeline, of course, Darth Vader's attempts to resurrect Padmé on Mustafar were doomed to failure. But it's fascinating to speculate what would have happened had he been successful.
Affiliation(s)
Boushh was a male Ubese from Uba IV who worked as a bounty hunter. Following his little-known demise at the hands of the Black Sun crime syndicate, Princess Leia Organa impersonated him in order to infiltrate Jabba's Palace and free Han Solo.
For Leia to name her son Ben Solo is the greatest honor, with Obi-Wan's memory able to live on in someone she loves. It is a sweet and moving gesture, and it retroactively addresses the questions that lingered around the Ben Solo name. After all, why name your child after someone who was important to someone else?
In The Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon Jinn meets tiny Anakin Skywalker and his mother, he goes on about how the Force is like, crazy strong with Anakin or whatever, and then asks his mother about Anakin's dad. Shmi Skywalker is pretty clear in her answer: There isn't a father. She was impregnated by the Force.
She also knows Obi-Wan, and she knows him well. Her holographic plea for help, already iconic, will never be the same. She knows Obi-Wan's real name as well as his alias of “Ben.” When Luke comes barging into her cell and says, “I'm here with Ben Kenobi,” Leia jumps off the bunk in an instant.
Ten years later, in Episode 2 of Obi-Wan Kenobi, he learns Anakin is alive. This is the first time it happens. This means, retroactively, in A New Hope, Ben has known about Vader being Vader for a long time.
Star Wars Just Confirmed Darth Vader's Undying Love for Padme Amidala.
The wedding of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala took place in 22 BBY by way of secret ceremony at the Varykino lake retreat in Naboo's Lake Country. The ceremony was officiated by a Pontifex of the Brotherhood of Cognizance named Maxiron Agolerga. The only witnesses to the marriage were the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.
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.
Yoda's knowledge of Luke Skywalker's true parentage was also confirmed in Return of the Jedi.
Overview. After her death in childbirth on Polis Massa, Amidala's body was returned to Naboo for the proper funeral rites. In order to hide the fact that Amidala's twins survived, her body was prepared to still appear pregnant.
The reason Leia likely remembers Padmé is that she could sense her mother's emotions at the time of the senator's passing. Luke didn't possess the same ability as his sister and inherited their father's Force potential. This links with Luke's desire to follow Anakin's Jedi path.
On either side of the sarcophagus, a stone pot filled with red flowers stood on a column. At some point after his transformation into the armored Darth Vader, Amidala's husband, the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker came to visit the mausoleum, stricken by grief and remorse for his part in her death.
