The "cool" guy

It is not because she was acive in the rebellion before Luke that she would be a greater Jedi, Luke has maybe more MC or stuff.

Yeah right. How extremely speculative of you.

Why would it take longer to train Leia? She was active in the rebellion long before Luke came around.

Now THAT is even worser than speculate now isn't it? The rebellion has nothing to do with Jedis, they don't train them so, what do you think than

why should Bail Organa, Owen and Beru know about the twins

Because Luke goes to live with Owen and Beru and Leia goes to live with Bail.

That isn't the same, they could know that there is one, the one they adopted, there is no indication they know about the other

Well what would be the point in not telling them?

They already know that they are looking after the child of Anakin so it's not as if it's a big secret to them.

They are probably not there when Amidala gives birth to them, so they don't know that, for the same reason Luke and Leia weren't told that they had other relatives (eachother)

What do you mean why would it take longer to train Leia? Luke was OBVIOUSLY the one showing power; Leia was showing virtually nothing at all. The entire focus of the story is that Luke is the one to get this job done. The Leia thing is just a twist. Obi-Wan knew what he was doing.

And Yerssot is right; involvment in the Rebellion has nothing to do with it at all.

Luke only showed power because ob1 got to him first, perhaps if Leia had got to see ob1 then it would have been a different matter, them being twins probably means the power divide is equal, Leia does show power in being able to sense Luke at the end esb, Yoda obviously thought that Leia had some power or he wouldn't have said about there being another and Luke even says that she can have the same power as him.

I just think Yoda was being over-hopeful.

I think it is clearly presented that Luke's powers, if not the greater, manifested first and that is not just a result of training. He was the one they needed. Getting Leia to save the day was just a pipe dream.

i still think it would have been interesting to see Leia trained as well, she does show some of the Jedi signs, i.e at the end of rotj when she knows Luke isn't dead, and can't she see the ghosts at the end as well?

I don't think so..she doesn't really look at them. All of her focus is on Luke.

2 things:

1) she CAN'T see the ghost, otherwhise she would scream or something because her FATHER stood there and she didn't even looked!

2) Being able to 'hear' Luke at the end of ESB doesn't have anything to do with being able to use the Force, not even a little. The best example to explain this is in ANH were a stormtrooper gets tricked by Ob1, it is the same thing; you are transmitting something in their heads

I never felt that Leia saw anything.

How would Obi-Wan know that Luke had greater potential? And don't say Midi-Chlorians. It didn't work for Anakin.

Maybe it wasn't that he had greater potential but rather that he was more curious and eager to learn about the Force.

AND Leia was already known as princess of Alderaan. So she was already being watched by others, so everybody would know when she underwent the training

So are you talking about when they are growing up or when they are babies?

After her mother died when she was very little, she was adopted by Organa. Than she became princess, and everybody looked at here so she couldn't do the training or everybody knew it

Who tried to train her as a Jedi?
