Inclined to agree with you.
And she did say 'reaching out on behalf of my father' or what not in her holograph to Ben - it may just be the case where she's maintaining a sort of diplomatic formality given that she's technically speaking as nobility and on behalf of the Senate (I think that's right - again, not good with the Canon here).

I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.

But again - it definitely doesn't start that way. The rest of that message is very stiff. Why read the guy his own CV to start things off if you have some warm history together? [Reply]
Ok, I can buy into some of this.
What about my second question?
And to build on that if Obi-Wan is going to put himself in grave danger rescuing Leia not once, but twice, isn't that going to send off signals to Darth Vader the importance of Leia? [Reply]

Why not? It was a distress call and she didn't have a lot of time to be emotional. [Reply]

They were being boarded by a pissed-off Vader after a heated battle.
She has ice water running through her veins. [Reply]
I don't have a problem with the Reva character (the actress) because the acting in this show is kind of shitty overall and she doesn't stand out as especially bad to me. Ewan McGregor is really good at pretending to be Alec Guinness. Indira Varma (Tala Dunth) is good. Joel Edgerton (Owan Lars) did a good job. Everybody else is just stumbling through poorly written dialogue or hamming it up. Still annoyed by lollipop headed baby Leia running around like she's wearing a diaper though. The girl doesn't act well, her dialogue is crap, and she was badly miscast. [Reply]

Wow. Interesting how people can disagree.
I think she's an absolutely perfect lil Leia. Puts every other child actor in the series to shame. [Reply]

I take it Vader knows from the third sister that it was Organa’s daughter that was kidnapped. One would expect a continued effort to rescue a senator’s daughter. And Vader also knows how the Jedi can’t seem to help themselves in matters such as these and will keep going until the mission is complete. [Reply]

The only thing I fault her for is not being a very good actress. Everything else is on the people who created this show. [Reply]
