There’s no evidence he thought of her as anything special. “I told you she would never consciously betray the rebellion” is a fairly neutral take, not overtly showing fondness or disdain.
Him having a “vendetta” against her, as you say, would not justify him sabotaging the attack on Hoth, which is the theory I was replying to.
I could have sworn there was some bit somewhere about Vader getting pissed at someone else hunting Leia because she’s his prey. But maybe that’s no longer canon, or never was, or is a Mandela effect candidate, or is a product of my own imagination – I can’t find it again, in any case.
Anakin wasn’t ever known for being level-headed and strategic, even before he gave himself over to his hate and anger. It’s plausible that he would sabotage an attack if his emotions got in the way. But like I said, the premise of my argument was a vendetta I can no longer find any evidence for, so my case is void.
I think that has too many wishy washy assumptions about the Force.
I guess you could say this whole thing is a matter of destiny, but that’s the problem with using the idea of destiny that way. You can use it to explain away anything.
Didn’t Vader tank that on a subliminal level by sensing his daughter’s presence? Ozzel might have been influenced to screw up there on purpose
… Vader didn’t know he had a daughter at that time?
But his subconscious did. Search your feelings. You know this to be true
“Sister… So. You have a twin sister.” -Return of the Jedi
That was the moment Vader discovered he had a daughter.
consciously yes
did The Force know tho
He had a prior run-in with Leia, no? He might not have known that she’s his daughter, but I believe he had quite the vendetta against her.
