    random Senator’s daughter…

    Rogue One shows Vader on a Rebel ship. A smaller ship undocks from that ship and speeds off. Vader watches it speed away. 5-10 minutes later, Vader catches up with it and boards it. That’s the opening of A New Hope.

    She isn’t some random Senators daughter. She is someone who is on-board a rebel ship that’s holding information Vader wants back. Her being a Senators daughter and using the diplomatic immunity argument paints an even larger target on her.

    Why WOULDN’T Vader take a second look at her?

      She was his daughter, and based on Lukes feats and Yodas yammering, she is also insanely powerful. It is fully possible her raw force powers, instinctively honed into an “you ain’t seeing shit” effect over her entire life, are strong enough to bluff him.

      The real cause is that she wasent his daughter at this point in the movies, because luke and leia weren’t related in the first one. George “i want han solo to be a lizard man” lucas leaned in and made it “weird” after the fact.
