Honestly the Star Wars fandom needs to always acknowledge and never forget that time Leia got so fed up and lost all fucks to give about people gossiping and talking shit about her after the galaxy-wide reveal of her biological father that she showed up to a society party in all black with a matching cape, ready to stunt and give folks something to talk about, like

“The only way to get through it, she decided, was through a little dark humor of her own–which took the form of the long black dress she wore, cape and all.

If they only wanted to see her as Vader’s daughter from now on, why not look the part?”  –Claudia Gray, Bloodline

Excuse me, what??? The levels of pure, unmitigated, “who gon’ check me?” EXTRA™ and give-no-fuckedness!! How can you not stan??? That is a truly iconic moment in Star Wars canon right there. Also, Senator Organa was doing Vader cosplay way before her son picked it up. #Facts

This needs indeed to be acknowledged!

I’m really, really glad the new EU is addressing this. Leia not really reacting to the reveal that Vader is her biological father was a major writing flaw to me.

In the ST you can actually see that all of the bullshit she’s been through has affected her.
