There are some things in movies and series that you don't get a complete look at! A series of books may give a different perspective. We see some hints of the conflict and emotional toll that her dad's life brought to Leia in "Bloodline" (a 2016 novel) as her life turned a bit political as the galaxy was brought a massive, epic shocking truth: Darth Vader was the father that brought Leia and Luke into this galaxy, along with a lot of tragedy. There are other works too that had a quick, unforgettable look as well, like "The Princess and the Scoundrel," (written by Beth Revis)!

But here is a super great reveal! "Insurgency Rising," gave everyone that true, emotional glimpse at her feelings when the story takes a step back to a pivotal moment. This story reveals her emotional rollercoaster ride after she realized that Darth Vader was her father!

There is still plenty of hatred toward the villain! It really shows us, she didn't completely accept his sacrifice.

There is just something tragic when these emotions take hold, in particular, with Leia going back to his smoldering body that is being buried at this location!
