It could just be that Leia’s seen it happen to others enough to know, but more likely it’s reinforcing what she went through on the Death Star during Vader’s torture of her.  And sometimes it just strikes a person at various moments like this, for all that Star Wars isn’t a grimdark series, some pretty fucking awful shit happens at the hands of the Empire and Leia Organa has seen some shit.

Its been an overwhelming two weeks with the new addition to the family. So here is a little something due to all the baby feels. I like to image Leia and Han coming home from a meeting (date) to find an exhausted Ben tucked in already due his Uncle Chewie’s (and Luke’s). They would be excellent babysitters :V 

“shut up an take her down!”
