OMG, Vader-raising-Lucy-and-Leia; is this posted somewhere? Because DO WANT.

And. Um. I am really rather embarrassed that I totally overlooked Bail's complicity to the kidnapping and the effect it would have on Leia's headspace. Because spot on. (And it also might make her... not more charitable toward Vader, exactly, but I'd think that some of her issues about him would be that she had a father-figure she appears to have admired/been close enough to that she followed him professionally and ideologically, and finding out that he was complicit in her kidnapping might lessen that sense that Bail deserves her loyalty--- Leia, as you say, is prone to black-and-white thinking, so breaking the "adoptive father=good, biofather=bad" paradigm would probably help some of her issues with Vader/Anakin being her father.)
