Vader didn't blow up Alderaan (I think it's implied that he advised against it, even, and he definitely doesn't care for the Death Star), and I'm not sure whether Leia would directly blame him or not,
*facepalm* Duh--- my bad. Though I think in terms of Leia's lived experience, the memory that her father was, like, standing right behind her when his colleague blew up her homeworld and... I don't know if she would know that he was not a Death Star fan and/or that he was against the whole "geocide" thing, or how she'd feel about it if she did know? But... he was there on the enemy side, when they destroyed her homeworld; I think that would be kind of an immediate experience for her once she found out he was her father, if that makes sense. (That and the torture; but Leia seems like the sort of person who'd suffer for a cause, so in some ways him going along, as she saw it, with the destruction of Alderaan might be harder for her to forgive.) But, yeah, my bad on blaming him there.
And, yeah, for Leia to find out about Anakin being a slave--- "devastating" is a phenomenal word for it; just completely breaking her paradigm.
And oh, yes, a thoughtful treatment of Anakin's slavery = DO WANT. I think it would take a lot of socioeconomic analysis of Tatooine and the GFFA in general to pull it off, though, which is tricky in a shared world like the pro-verse is.
Totally squicked by the childfree issues, here! I... just hate that trope so much, like I hate when people just assume that I or anyone else is going to have children some day. No.
Oh, wow, yeah, the twins with their mother's diary = AMAZING experience. And I'm glad my idea of the effect on their understanding of what the NJO should be makes sense!
