STAR WARS WEEK 2024 DAY 2: TRILOGY WARS - FAVOURITE TRILOGY ▸ THE PREQUEL TRILOGY (1999-2005)

Little lore moment. The interesting thing about all of Leia's visions (barring one) in DLB is that they are flashes of the past. One of my headcanons that comes up in various stories is Luke and Leia both being prone to (very short, generally unhelpful) flashes, with Luke being sensitive to the immediate future, and Leia being sensitive to the past. Since I don't really do the Force as sentient, this is pretty related to their worldviews in a sort of cyclical way. Leia is very aware of how things are, and how they came to be, and dealing with the reality of that. Luke looks to the future and how things can be changed, partly because often when he acts, things that he sees never come to pass.

Again, since I'm not doing a sentient Force, anything that people "see" about Leia is pretty dependent on them getting through how much she's hiding herself in the Force. And she's really good at it. And strong. So no one's really getting much outside of what she's willing to share. People who have talked to her a lot have gotten a lot more out of their conversations with her than anything they've sense in the Force.
