Did Vader ever notice that Leia looked like Padme?

Does anyone think when Vader sees Leia his first thoughts were "She looks just like Padme"? That would have been interesting to see if he gave that some thought. Maybe when Tarkin says to kill her and Vader says "No" she still may be of some use, he sensed something in Leia that brought him back to Padme and didn't want her to die.

 

Interesting question. I have always wondered about this as well! I mean come on? They both pretty much had the same haircut! (Bun on both sides of the head.) Who else in the galaxy would have had that style?
But you do bring up a good point; it does seem like in ANH Vader is sort-of attempting to prolong her life, but I suspect that it was only because they could extract more information from her. I think it's not until his battle with Luke on the DS II where Vader finally realizes that he has a daughter.

 

no because she didnt like that much like her

 

No. He had big goggles, and he was married over ages ago.

I doubt he had pictures of Padme in his Wallet.

Plus, they look different.

And what would he do? Try to romance her? I think that he was a bit too burnt up for that.

 

You could be on to something! Or maybe he felt the Force in her and was intrigued...

 

They look similar... but since Vader had never seen Padme through the eyes of his mask I don't know if he would draw that comparison. Of course if the image were distorted enough, she might look even more like Padme (only a bit red).

 

Even if he did, what would his reaction have been? Hey, she sort of looks like the woman I used to love. He had no idea he had any children. Its not as if Leia and Padme were twins. I'm sure there are many other women throughout the galaxy who look a little like Padme. Just as there were probably lots of people also with the last name of Skywalker.

 

I don't think he noticed.

1. They don't look that much like each other.
2. Vader is a deeply disturbed individual.
3. Vader thinks about two things: Gaining power and Following the orders of Palpatine, and NOT about Padme.
4. He wears goggles that disturb his vision.

 

Padme and Leia do resemble eachother greatly. They both have the deep brown eyes, the brown cinnamon bun hair, the strong political fiery attitude.

But I think Vaders been gone for twenty or so years, and he's in that state where he's blocking out his old life. He never felt the babys presence,he didn't know he had offspring at that point. He would probably never make the connection, but Leia might have reminded him of her at first.

 

I saw someone who looked like my mom at the post office yesterday. Thought nothing of it. Don't know why Vader would make a big deal out of two people looking vaguely similar. Especially since there's trillions of people out there and he probably sees hundreds every week or so. Some people have no grasp of the scope of the Star Wars civilization.

 

I would say he thinks of that nice up-and-going girl in singing in the rain, gooood mornin' good moornin', we stayed up late last night, good mornin' good mornin' too yoooouuu. (Vader tapping his foot singing that tune)

Also how do you know what women in star wars look like, we only get to see so few, I can never tell the difference between Leia and that chick in the hoth base. Maybe everybody wore the cinnamon buns. I know it's difficult for girls on earth to make those elaborate hairdoes, but in the SW galaxy it might just be as easy as using a hairbrush.

 

Also, Vader probably saw her in or around the Senate or at least on Senate business, along with her father, for at least a couple of years. If he ever thought anything of it, it was long before their encounter aboard Tantive IV

 

there was at least 1 other person in the phanton menice who looked like padme .the false queen

 

Leia and Padme don't look similar to me at all..

They may have a slight resemblance, but I don't see that much of a similarity.

 

I've never seen many similarities between the females, but there's a brief shot in ROTS (when Anakin is crawling up the shaft during the lava duel) where Anakin looks a lot like Luke in TESB.

 

The similarity between Padme and Leia is more about character than looks.

And another thing, Vader didn't know that a child of his had survived until ESB. Any similarities he may have dismissed as pure coincidences.

 

padme looked as about as much as Leia as a jawa looked like an ewok Heck no not even close no way can you say they looked alike

 

Having the same hairstyle and the same color eyes isn't a physical resemblance. Especially since, I believe, hairstyles are changeable and not something genetically inherited.

 

By the time of ANH Vader would have lost his ability to judge objectively and if he did see any resemblance between Padme and Leia he'd likely think he was nuts.

 

Seriously, there trillions of humans in that galaxy. Vader wouldn't have thought anything of Leia due to there being sooooooooo many people, that even if he thought there was a resemblence he would of thought it to be coincidental.
