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
i hope with tiktok and twitter effectively dead and instagram on its way to dying we enter an age where social media is not popular and we all go outside and get lives and stop posting. but not on tumblr ofc
