Star Wars really said "Anakin Skywalker had issues rooted in childhood trauma that was not his fault" but also "Anakin made his own choices as an adult for which he alone is responsible" but ALSO "In spite of the truly evil things he chose to do Anakin was still capable of being loved and redeemed" and I think that's important.

ok so. I've been thinking. what if leia's "thing" is that she's imperceptible in the force. like, she's so innately powerful at shielding, she's just not there. Anakin didn't know padme was having twins because he literally couldn't sense leia's presence. yoda and obi-wan were fine with bail taking leia because they couldn't perceive her thoughts, even as an infant. neither reva nor vader could penetrate her mind. she spent years in the senate alongside palpatine and he had no idea she was force sensitive. the only person who can see leia for who she really is is the one who has been there from the beginning — luke.

luke: hey i am getting intensely powerful and somewhat intimidating vibes from leia, like the vibes of a dominant and ancient power buried beneath the surface

the gang: looks like SOMEONES never talked to a strong woman before

NATALIE PORTMAN as Padmé Amidala - STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005)

One of the things I love about Rebels is that if you just watch the opening two-parter, it looks like it's going to be the story of a young orphan taken in and educated by a family of functional adults.

And then you keep watching (and reading the tie-in media), and you realize that Hera is still seething with resentment toward the parents she ran away from in her teens, Kanan spent years drowning his trauma (and connection to the Force) in the bottom of a bottle, Sabine is frantically avoiding coming to terms with more bad past life decisions than any sixteen-year-old should have had time to make, and Zeb is the only person in the entire crew who’s made it out of his twenties.

But goddamn it, Ezra thinks they’re functional adults, so they’re going to pull it together and pretend for his sake. And somehow, it works. Somehow, they all grow up together.
