Princess Leia Organa's Force sensitivity was only mentioned in passing when Darth Vader told Luke Skywalker of his plans to bring her over to the Dark Side instead of him. It was also shown that she could sense Luke. But thus far, only Luke has been taking full advantage of his Force powers by becoming a Jedi while Leia is relegated to using a blaster.
However, being Luke's twin sister, it only makes sense that she has just as much of the Force in her as the rest of her lineage. Finally, in this third installment of "Star Wars: Shattered Empire," we finally get to see more of that Force being awakened inside of Leia as well.
Comic book spoilers ahead!
Those who read "Princess Leia #2" might also recall that upon seeing a stained glass portrait of Amidala – her mother, whom she never met or even knew about – Leia also had a Force vision of the woman turning to look at her. Another great way to link the Original Trilogy with the prequels in this emerging new canon for the Star Wars Universe.
Given that Shattered Empire occurs decades before the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," could it be possible that Leia's powers could be more developed in the new trilogy as well?
