Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

MODERATORS
My point still stands. Did Vader not realize she was force sensitive? Luke was able to determine their relationship through the force in ROTJ
No, Luke was told by the ghost of Ben Kenobi.
OK good point.
Presumably she would have been taught to shield her force sensitivity? That's not an uncommon thing to do in the SW universe.
If she was taught from birth/childhood, hiding it would be extremely natural.
(Ignoring that it was all retconning) I think force sensitivity wouldn’t necessarily be an indicator of anything. Force users can probably detect some amount of force sensitivity from others, in varying amounts. Most people are probably weak, with a few standouts here and there. But latent force sensitivity probably doesn’t set off any alarm bells the way a “trained” force sensitive would. So if he had detected she had any training, like I assume force users somehow “guard” themselves against others probing, that would’ve set him off and he’d realize, she’s hiding something. Also, given that this occurs literally right after the events in Rogue One, he was probably more focused on retrieving the Death Star plans.
Luke would’ve had a stronger connection to Leia than Vader would’ve, given that they’re twins, so he would’ve felt a stronger pull than Vader. Vader is the kind of Dad that probably would’ve forgotten his kid’s birthdays and social security numbers.
