    I think a better suggestion is that she was weakened by the stun blaster. Leia hadn't developed her force powers much at all at that point, so being in a weakened state could lead Vader to thinking nothing much of her. He would expect his child to be unusually powerful, of course.

      I don't buy that. He's the leader of the Inquisitors. His whole thing is dealing with people who are force sensitive and either killing them or turning them. Also, thanks to George Lucas, there's another major sticking point. Midichlorians. Vader would have been able to sense them in her regardless of being stunned or even conscious.

        People in general are really bad at reconsidering life-defining events under a different light, impulsive people most of all, so it's not out of character for Vader to ignore any instincts that tell him there's a connection between him and Leia.

        Yeahhhhhh see there’s your problem. You’re taking Star Wars lore too literally. Don’t you know you can’t take every little thing Star Wars adds and assume its actually supposed to make any sense other than “this sounds cool”?

        /s, but also not really

          Oh I know. I just like pointing it out with Star Wars. In Trek you can find consistency but in Star Wars there's fucking none. It's the movie equivalent of kids playing with action figures and one-upping each other every 5 seconds with some new OP abilities.

        Yeah I didn't say it was a good suggestion, just that it was better lol.
