Out of universe: When Star Wars (later retitled as Episode IV: A New Hope) was written, Darth Vader was not Anakin Skywalker and Leia was not Luke's sister. There was simply nothing for him to sense. Because those two were actively using the force while Leia didn't exactly do squat for Vader to notice.
However, Leia's strong-mindedness during Vader's probe denied him the opportunity to discover she was his daughter. That serves to justify Vader's lack of awareness of his connection to Leia, although, perhaps, not as satisfyingly as if Lucas had planned for the relationship from the beginning.
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. "So... you have a twin sister.
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.
Vader is aware of the existence of Leia Organa, but does not know that she is his daughter. And he initially has no knowledge whatsoever of Luke. He learns Luke's identity after A New Hope, before Empire Strikes Back.
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?
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.
"Skywalker's first student was to be his sister, Leia. However, she ultimately decided that the best path for her to serve the galaxy left no room for the extended isolation of Jedi training," Hidalgo wrote.
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.
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 only senses Luke when he actually using the Force, Leia is not actively aware or using the Force and therefore he does not sense her. He is also not looking for a daughter either until Luke spills the psychic beans on her later on.
This is not because the Third Sister knows that Leia is Anakin Skywalker's child; it is because the Third Sister found a link between Obi-Wan and Bail Organa and she believed Obi-Wan would do anything to save Bail's daughter.
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."
Later, the heroes go to the forest moon of Endor to prepare for a battle with the Empire. There, Luke reveals to Leia that she is his twin sister and that Vader is their father.
At some point between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker is his son, but when did he discover this?
Even Yoda wanted to train Leia over Luke: “And there was the other Skywalker to watch over – impetuous, headstrong, unruly, inattentive. He needed Obi-Wan's eye on him. Unlike the other, whose strength and will and clarity showed all the markings of a great Jedi.”
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.
He was thinking to himself how he could not wait to train Leia, as she had all the qualities of a good Jedi, unlike Luke. However, after Obi-Wan died on the Death Star, his spirit went to Degobah, where he convinced Yoda that training Luke was the better option, saying that Leia wasn't ready yet, but Luke was.
There are a lot of hints given throughout the Star Wars franchise that Padmé Amidala was in fact Force sensitive. It is clear that the young queen and later senator from Naboo was not strong in the Force or trained in the ways of the Jedi, but she very likely still had some low-level sensitivity.
Following the Wampa attack during the movie's opening scenes on Hoth; Leia, Han, and Chewie visit Luke in the infirmary. Leia is annoyed with Han, who insists she has feelings for him, so she kisses Luke to prove she doesn't. Presumably, the scene was simply meant to make Han jealous.
Leia's journey yields a time dilation of 62.6 days; however Luke experiences a time dilation of 700.8 days. The students concluded that Luke is therefore 1.75 years younger than Leia, possibly rendering them the first twins ever to have more than a year between their ages.
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.
Short answer: no. Her little run-through with Clovis was during her early Senatorial days, before Anakin came along and fell head-over-heels in love with her.
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.
