OneStar Warslocation perfectly reveals thatLeia Organaalways remained connected to her biological parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, even if none of them knew it. One of the greatest tragedies oftheStar Warstimelineis the destruction of the family Luke and Leia could have had. Yes, thankfully, Luke and Leia were both adopted by families who loved them and truly cared for them, but it remains brutally painful thatthe Skywalker family treewas torn apart.
However,Star Warsmovies and TV showshave increasingly revealed how connected the Skywalkers remained, even if the twins grew up apart, without knowing their biological parents. While the original trilogy revealed manyparallels between Luke and Anakin Skywalker,Obi-Wan Kenobiexplicitly stated the way Leia was like her parents. Outside the movies and shows, though,oneStar Warsbook has revealed that a single location further proves just how like her parents Leia truly was.
Both Leia & Han And Anakin & Padmé Went On Romantic Trips On The Halcyon
In theStar Wars: Halcyon Legacycomic book miniseries, written by Ethan Sacks,Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala (somewhat hilariously) take what is effectively a romantic cruise together aboard the titular Halcyon. Although the Halcyon is perhaps best known for being the ship thatDisney World’s Galactic Starcruiser hotelwas based on, it also exists in-universe, as these canon comic books make clear. In-universe, though, TheHalcyonwas a passenger liner—and Anakin wasn’t the only Skywalker who took a trip on it.

Rather, the canonStar Warsbook,Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel, written by Beth Revis, reveals thatLeia Organa and Han Solo also took a trip aboard the Halcyon, and it was quite similar in nature to her parents' trip. Specifically, in Anakin and Padmé’s case, the two were theoretically aboard the ship on a Republic mission, although it eventually turned into more of a romantic getaway than anything. For Leia and Han, their trip on the Halcyon was intended to be their honeymoon, although they really selected this location as a bit of a publicity stunt.

Yes, Leia and Han technically traveled aboard a luxury ship for their honeymoon, but,unsurprisingly, Leia saw this as also being a diplomatic mission. This true motive reveals that, like her parents—her mother especially—Leia was always dedicated to the galaxy.
This unique connection between Leia and her biological parents really does reinforce how alike Leia and her parents are.
Although these events were the inverse of each other, with Anakin and Padmé covering up their romantic trip with a political mission and Han and Leia covering up their political mission with a romantic trip, the connection is downright hilarious. It reveals the ways in which Anakin and Padmé’s personalities continued to shine through in Leia, despite her never really knowing them. Charmingly, this one blink-and-you-miss-itStar Warslocation connection provesLeia Organareally was just like her parents.
