* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: Leia's birth status doesn't affect her eligibility for the throne of Alderaan. There's already a version of the Day of Demand ritual with adjusted wording to reflect that the speaker is adopted, which suggests that there have been adopted heirs before her.

Added DiffLines:

* KeepingSecretsSucks: Soon after finding out what her parents are up to, Leia longs to ''tell'' people and feels like she's lying by omission by keeping their secret, though she knows full well why it's so important. Leia concludes that in order to become trustworthy enough to help them, she has to learn to be a good liar and a bit more of a GuileHero, and gets over her reluctance.


Added DiffLines:

* PubliclyDiscussingTheSecret: It's dangerous in most places for politicians of any stripe, including Junior Senators, to so much as express criticism of the Empire. Every time she notices one of her peers doing this, Leia is alarmed.

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective Parents]]: The Organas think that leaving Leia out of the Rebellion and later ''actively preventing her from helping it'' will keep her safe from possible reprisals by the Empire. Breha comes around before Bail does but reluctantly. When Leia points out that the Empire is not reasonable or proportional in its responses and will come down on her regardless of innocence, Bail says she's probably right but if there's the slightest hope, he will cling to it.
** In an interview with Leia, Grand Moff Tarkin sounds her out for loyalty and awareness of her parents' activities, suggesting that she'll be Queen of Alderaan quite soon. It's possible that if the Alliance had been nipped in the bud before getting much of a chance to fight back, then an innocent Leia could indeed have been spared.

Added DiffLines:

* BigBrotherIsEmployingYou: One of the challenges Leia takes on to formally become her mother's heir is to join the Junior Imperial Senate. She served as her father's intern in the proper Senate for two years and initially thinks it's possible to change the Empire from within and moderate its worst excesses.


Added DiffLines:

* CrushingThePopulace: When the Empire takes over a world they set about this. On Wobani they've reduced the population to living into vast refugee camps, unable to even own their own transportation, and this doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary.


Added DiffLines:

* SlaveLiberation: Amilyn tells Leia that the law on Gatalenta is that any slave who sets foot on its surface is freed automatically. Leia hopes there's a similar law on Alderaan that she's just missed but isn't in a position to check right then.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Warhawk}}: Downplayed, but Queen Breha wants the Rebel faction she is part of to start arming as she has stopped believing that a VelvetRevolution will work against the Empire. This dismays other leaders, her husband included, but they see her point and start up an operation in the Paucris system to refit a fleet with weaponry.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Not shown directly on page, but even aside from a shaky connection with Saw's Partisans there's apparently quite a few rifts in this Rebel faction.
