I like Leia as incredibly versatile! That is a good description of her--- incredibly adaptable to situations and able to move her skill set around so that it lines up with whatever she wants to accomplish.
Oooh, I like your description of the myriad types of Jedi! And, yeah, ever-changing Order = AWESOME. (I feel like it's implied by the PT that Yoda is a Major Part of the Problem there, because if he's been Grandmaster of the Order for some significant part of said Order's history... well, yeah. That's his baby.) And oh, I liked that story of yours, especially your ghost!Anakin being about to lay the smackdown on his granddaughter who stepped out of line. (I love all stories where ghost!Anakin is an important part of his descendents' lives, because, well, Anakin. That man will be showing up to tell stories to his descendants for probably longer than the Old Republic was around. He missed out on his kids' childhood, he's gonna make up for it for the next zillion generations or so. LOL.)
Whew! And, yeah, I am totally a love-it-with-all-its-flaws kinda fangirl about the PT, and will in fact admit cheerfully that the OT are better movies, it's just that I like the PT more for the most part. :) (Splinter?)
You're right about the retcon effects with Leia; that's something I often forget about, because I take the whole twin reveal so much for granted in my headcanon that I forget it wasn't originally planned!
