    The only time we see her use her latent Force powers is when Luke calls out to her in ESB, then we get to ROTJ when she senses Luke survived the Battle of Endor and presumably how she "always knew" that Luke was her brother and her remembering Padme then we go to TFA where she senses Han's death also.

    We also in the Shattered Empire comics that when Leia and Shara Bey, Poe's mother goes to Naboo to try to win support for the New Republic from the Queen and Leia senses Darth Maul's dark presence

    [​IMG]

    Now that Leia knows fully that she is a Skywalker, do you think we will see her access more of her powers to help the Resistance or maybe get a bit of training from Luke how to defend herself? Or use it to try and save her son an bring him back from the Dark Side?

    At most we will see her reach out to the extent DJ redhead out to Bespin in ESB .

    Presumably she should have the same potential as Luke when it comes to the Force, both being the children of the Almighty Chosen One after all.

    this is how i can see her using her FS. she might try to reach Ben.

    but they've always kept it low key with her, so it's hard to say. if she does use it, i hope it is subtle.

    At most we will see her reach out to the extent DJ redhead out to Bespin in ESB and it will be depending on how propolis at her character becomes from VII .

    I'd love to see Leia use some force powers, but I get the feeling Disney doesn't have confidence in Carrie Fisher pulling it off.

    Leia was the only OT character in TFA that just felt off to me. Then the whole post-TFA tweets by her about fans criticizing her looks makes me wonder if her hearts in it anymore?

    I really think she'll be limited to more of a political role for the ST, although her reunion with Luke could be a powerful scene.

    I think that they might be setting her up for being a more "mental" force user. I don't see her throwing around any force pushes or the like, but her ability could be used in a more subtle manner.

    I choose to vote yes, because

    Therefore, she had the potential herself to become a Jedi. I think age is not a restrictrion. You are never too old to train in the way of the force. I do not expect her swinging a lightsaber but - I don't know- connect with her son through meditation...?

    I think if Leia ever use the force it would be something we never seen before. Probably, a power to protect or shield herself from danger. I think it would be more defensive than offensive, though her nature is a realist. But, i think the force we already see in Leia, is her strenght and strategic thinking. This ma'am need no lightsaber to finish her job. Every battles have people working behind the battlefield, planning the winning strategy.

    As much as I would like her in full Jedi mode, I reckon her use of the Force is subtle. She was strong and stoic, so that is how the Force might show on her. I'd love to see her using it on episodes VIII and IX.

    It could maybe fit because of the look that Leia gives Rey, like relieved that she survived to be able to go see Luke since she's protecting his kid and all .

    Eh...after what happened when she sent her last kid away, I'd think she'd cling onto Rey for her entire life and turn her into An Affluenza case .

    Well, the TFA novelization actually makes reference to that. (Like she has the same feeling when she sent Ben away with Luke.)

    “I’m proud of what you’re about to do,” she told the girl.
    Rey replied in all seriousness. “But you’re also afraid. In sending me away, you’re—
    reminded.”
    Leia straightened. “You won’t share the fate of our son.”
    “I know what we’re doing is right. This is how it has to be. This is how it should be.”
    Leia smiled gently, reassuringly. “I know it, too. May the Force be with you.”
