Leia continued to explore long after both Luke and Han had given up. She knew their answers were here. They were here somewhere. Leia headed into the old garage.
“I killed them. I killed them all! They’re like animals!”
Leia shuddered. Her answers were right here in that building. She could feel it. Han slowly entered in behind her, “What do you hear or see that I don’t?”
Leia wavered on her feet, “I don’t know.” She whispered before collapsing.
“Leia!” Han rushed to help her but she seemed to already be up on her own in the half second that it took him to get to her.
Leia sat on the floor and stared up at the man she loved, “My grandmother was murdered by Tuskens and in revenge Anakin killed them all. Even the women and the children.” Han simply stared at her. Leia continued, despite his confusion, “Those were his first steps to the darkside, Han, his first steps.” Leia pulled herself out of his embrace and slowly walked towards the steps. She pointed down, “My mother sat right here, RIGHT HERE, and listened to his tale of woe.”
Luke watched carefully from the entrance of the garage, Leia was so intoned to the past that he was afraid to come forward or say anything in hopes that maybe she might be able to tell them SOMETHING.
Leia dug through her pocket for the picture of their mother’s family again. “There’s something here.” She whispered. Leia carefully examined each face in the picture. There was something different about their mother’s. Something that reflected sadness, not loneliness, but it was almost as if their mother was hiding something, like she had a secret. “Not life threatening, but life altering.” Leia muttered. She looked up, “Luke, could have Threepio and Artoo do some research on Naboo, see if there is a connection between that planet and our parents.”
Luke nodded, “Yes, I’ll see to it right away.”
Leia smiled at her twin, “Thank you.” Leia turned away and looked at the picture once more before putting it away. “Mother and Grandmother are trying to tell me something, something important, something we HAVE to know.”
*~*
Han propped his feet up on the table in front of him, “Thank heavens she is finally asleep.”
Luke rubbed the sleep out of his own eyes. They were sitting on the Millennium Falcon, Threepio and Artoo had been researching Naboo extensively for hours but so far hadn’t come up with something important to their search. “I am amazed at Leia’s Force skills in this search.” Luke admitted, “She seems to have such a connection to the place where I grew up, a connection I don’t posses, she almost seems to have a deep connection to our mother and grandmother.”
Han had known Luke long enough to sense the jealously creeping out of the young man’s voice, “Yeah but remember you have a deep connection to Anakin and Obi-Wan that Lie doesn’t have and now Leia seems to have a deep connection to your mother and grandmother. Perhaps Force connections are a male to male, female to female, sort of thing.”
Luke sat back to consider the idea, “Maybe.”
Threepio and Artoo came bustlingly in at that very moment. “Did you find anything?” Han asked.
A very excited Threepio handed Han a print out. “This is a hidden and top secret print out of Queen Amidala of Naboo.”
“So?” Luke asked, not quite sure what an old Queen and his mother had in common.
Han studied the picture at the top for a moment before grabbing the picture of Leia’s family out of Luke’s hand. “I think they are the same woman. Its hard to tell because there must be at least ten years difference between both pictures and the Queen is wearing a cake load of makeup.”
Luke stood up and moved over to study the picture behind Han’s shoulder. “I think they are the same as well.”
Han quickly reads over the information below Queen Amidala’s picture, “Well all it says here is that she was Queen of Naboo for tens years and then finally became a Senator for the Republic. She was a leader during the Clone Wars and often accompanied Bail Organa on peace missions.”
“There’s the connection to Leia’s adoption,” Luke pointed out
“IF your mother and this Queen Amidala are the same person.”
Luke pondered the thought but his thoughts were interrupted by the blood curdling scream.

ENJOY!

Another reason for Leia sensing things that Luke never did when he was growing up could be their training in the Force. He didn't have any then. Just a thought. It's nice to see Leia making the connection though.

Leia’s eyes flew open and her pulse was racing. Just at that moment Han and Luke came racing in the room. “Are you alright?” Han asked.
Leia’s breathing slowed and she reached up and grasped her brother’s hand. “We are running out of time. I can’t explain it but this secret of mother’s, we MUST find it!”
“What do you mean?” Luke carefully asked.
“I can’t explain it,” Leia told him, “I just know, something inside of me is telling me that we are running out of time.”
Han looked at the woman he loved with a painful expression. “We found some information and we think that the old queen of Naboo, Amidala, may very well be your mother.”
Leia bit her lip, “Then we must go to Naboo.”
Threepio, who was actually quite for once, spoke up, “But Princess Leia, Naboo was destroyed during the Clone Wars.”
“I don’t care, we HAVE to go.” She looked at the two people who meant the most to her in the world, “We have to.”
Han nodded, “Chewie and I will get the ship prepared to leave.”
Luke helped Leia back down, “You need your rest.” Leia closed her eyes, “There’s something in that picture, Luke, something I can’t explain. But the answer is right in front me, why can’t I see it?”

This is good. This is very good.
I like your take on the connections that Luke and Leia have to the past.
I've always thought that Luke took after the 'greater' or 'cosmic' Force while Leia took after the Living Force .

Han propped his feet up on the table in front of him, “Thank heavens she is finally asleep.”

Luke helped Leia back down, “You need your rest.” Leia closed her eyes, “There’s something in that picture, Luke, something I can’t explain. But the answer is right in front me, why can’t I see it?”
Chapter Eight
A few hours later they arrived at the broken planet Naboo. Leia walked slowly down the ramp and looked at the ruined planet. She felt her heart breaking at the sight of it. Suddenly a cry of pain and help exploded in her head and just as suddenly as it had come it left.
Leia once more took out the picture of her mother’s family. Her forefinger ran across the face of one of the little girls, “Pooja. That’s her name. She’s the one we need to help.”
Han looked at Luke, “How does she know this?”
Luke shrugged, “Either she’s always known it subconsciously and the Force is helping her to reawaken those memories or someone is helping her along.”
“You mean like a dead spirit or something?”
“Or something.”
“We need to split up again,” Leia said, “There’s something here. I can FEEL it.” Leia’s fingers once again ran through the designs on top of the music box. Images of her mother and Obi-Wan flashed through her head. They were saying goodbye. “That’s not all, there’s something here. Something between Mother and Obi-Wan.”
Luke was so startled that for the first time since he’d known him Han had to support him to keep him from falling over.
“Friends, close friends, but something else, love, not romantic love, but sibling love, and…” Leia’s thoughts drifted off. She couldn’t seem to finish her sentence. “Threepio, keep digging for information on Queen or Senator Amidala.” Leia slowly wandered off, “There’s something here.”
“Threepio,” Han called, “Do as she says.”
“Yes, Captain Solo.” Threepio wandered back onto the ship.
Han slowly steadied Luke on his feet, “Kid, I’m worried about her.”
Luke nodded, “So am I.”
Chapter Nine
Leia walked down a street that clearly hadn’t been walked in quite some time. Images of her father, her mother, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Did her father’s turning force her mother and the Jedi Master into a friendship for survival? Her head continued to pulse, it was the most intense feeling she had ever had, and personally she didn’t care for it.
Leia looked at the second little girl in the picture. “Ryoo.” Darkness clouded over Leia’s thoughts, “She was murdered.” She whispered, “Murdered in cold blood as a message to the Naberrie family.”
“Naberrie. Amidala, no, Padme Naberrie.” Leia’s body started to shake and she started pointed to the younger looking man in the picture, “Uncle Darred.” Leia’s body suddenly began to shake, “THAT’S how I know.”
Leia’s knees gave out below her and she fell into the dirt. “I used to visit them when I was little, before… before Mother died. I was very close to Uncle Darred. I called him uncle because… because he and Bail were good friends until…” Here her voice faltered and she remembered what had happened to Viceroy Organa’s good friends.
The oldest daughter was murdered as a message to the Naberrie family to stop their protests and anti-Imperial sentiments. The rest of the family had disappeared and foul play had been involved but no investigation ever took place. Leia’s fingers ran over the face of the youngest child in the picture, Pooja. Something still nagged in her mind, “She’s still ALIVE!”
Chapter Ten
Leia stood up and ran, she ran right past the Falcon and didn’t even her husband’s call for her. She just kept running.
It only took a few seconds for her husband and brother to gather up enough speed for them to follow her. “Where’s she going,” Han panted after a couple hours.
They group was wet running through the swamp and Han felt muggy, tired, and his legs ached like they never have before.
Luke had even given up trying to use the Force to keep his body cool and relaxed, he just felt too tired, “I have no idea.”
When they two men finally caught up to Leia they found her kneeling in a large circle of grass, clawing at it. “What are you doing?” Han asked.
“Digging.” Leia told him, as if it was an obvious answer. Han dug in his back pocked for his communicator and told Chewie to bring to Flacon around to a nearby clearing and see if they have any digging equipment on board.
It only took Chewie a few minutes to bring the Falcon around. Chewie hauled all the digging equipment off the ship, not much but enough.
They four of them dig for hours before hearing a soft “clunk.” Leia made a quick motion with her hand, “Stop.” They cleared away the remaining dirt before coming across several bodies, all bones. Leia sucked in a breath and reached down and picked up a nearby skull, “Grandfather.”
Han looked at Leia and then to Luke, “Not including your mother we are one short of everyone in that picture.”
“That’s because Pooja’s alive, somewhere. But she’s in danger, terrible danger.”
Leia gently set the skull of Ruwee Naberrie back in the mud and picked up another skull, “Grandmother.”
“How could you do this to us!? We welcomed you in our home!”
Leia gently set it down as her body shook, “He killed them. He killed his own family.”
“Who?”
“Father,” Luke answered. “Our father.”
