** Leia is so traumatized by the revelation, her mind is literally in danger of breaking. Yet Luke feels it, and mentally comes to her aid despite being well across the galaxy, and she is in hyperspace.

* Incongruous as it may be coming from the scene stealing ComicRelief, but ''Hondo Ohnaka'', of all people, is the one to crack Luke's increasing antipathy and intolerance towards the Jedi of the Old Republic and brushing away his belief that they were emotionless borderline sociopaths. Leia is somewhat amused that in the space of a conversation, Hondo gets something through Luke's head that she's been trying to convince him of for weeks.
-->'''Luke''': They never once defended the rights of the clones to be people. They just sent them into the slaughter with no care of them.
-->'''Hondo''': Who has told you such lies? The Jedi loved the clones, and the clones loved them back.
-->'''Luke''': The Jedi didn’t love ''anything.'' They believed in non-attachment—
-->'''Hondo''': Do you believe that nonsense Kenobi likes to spout? He is one of my closest and dearest friends, but he lies more than me! It’s probably why I like him so much.
-->'''Luke''': But he lies.
-->'''Hondo''': About things that are obviously the truth. Not love? Not ''love?'' The Jedi had the biggest hearts in the galaxy, my friend. They loved so much that they bled themselves dry trying to save everyone. [...] The galaxy is rarely as simple as you think it is, young Dameron. The Jedi taught me that. And I could see, even then, that they were ''needed.'' The galaxy is a much sadder and dimmer place without them.
-->'''Luke''': Why are you so defensive of them?
-->'''Hondo''': They cared. When no one else did, when others were busy with power games and petty wars, they ''cared.''

** ''“I am Breha Organa of Alderaan. My family has ruled my planet peacefully for generations. We will not give into terror, especially if that terror is being wielded by the government in power. My husband and daughter are correct, the likelihood of Tarkin using this weapon no matter what we do is too great. I am Alderaanian. We answer rage with wisdom. We answer fear with imagination. We answer war with hope. I would rather we fight for one small hope then surrender to the darkness. And I believe my people would make the same choice.” ''

* Leia escaping the Death Star unaided.
unaided, including killing an officer and two armed Stormtroopers when she was originally unarmed. Even better, she does so assisted with authorization codes belonging to ''Tarkin.'' She had memorized them after his original death out of spite.
** It is what proves to Vader she is truly his daughter.
* Obi-Wan and Bail were dumbfounded by the casual way in which Leia described throwing off Vader when he was using the Force to choke her to death. She thought it was no big deal until they explained he had killed many fully trained Jedi that way. Moreover, she later learns she nearly ''killed'' Vader in that moment.

* Bail becomes honestly confused at why Han fears him more than he fears ''Darth Vader.'' To which Han points out that Bail, a man who Han also feels looks like a pampered aristocrat unable to function without multiple servants at all times, plotted out how to keep Leia safe while hiding her literally under Palpatine and Vader's noses, and ''pulled it off.'' We also see here more on how it was Bail's careful yet intricate strategizing, and patience, which made the Rebel Alliance as strong as it is.
* While crossing with NightmareFuel, Vader's confrontation with Ashoka when he is convinced she is actively complicit in 'stealing' his daughter, is this. His sheer rage is expressed through the Force in such a manner Ashoka is sincerely concerned he might kill her unintentionally. It truly highlights his awesome power.
