I'll say Luke too.
Aside from the practical difficulty of getting Leia to Dagobah unnoticed, I don't think Luke's sharing of his father's traits is that strong. Luke had a better childhood than his father (didn't grow up a slave), and wasn't suffering from the dreams and such that haunted Anakin.
Leia actually seems to me to be more hotheaded and angry than Luke; look at how she goes ballistic on Han, Luke and Chewbacca after they just rescued her, and then acts like they're inconveniencing her while conveniently ignoring that SHE led them into the garbage compactor.
Luke had a hard time developing patience, but I think Leia would have had it even harder.

Luke, EU implies that Luke was chosen by Obi-Wan and Yoda at birth to kill Vader and Palpatine. He was molded by aspects of his life, growing up on Tatooine, protected by Obi-Wan, told Vader killed his father, keeping his family name, etc. All of which instills a respect for Jedi and a desire for revenge on the part of Luke.
Agreed with above, with the exception that RotJ implies Leia knows that she was adopted.Mr CorSec wrote:Leia meanwhile was raised as an Alderaanian Princess, and believes that her foster parents are her real parents so the orphan angle wouldn't work. She may be cool headed and have combat training but she would 1. have to unlearn what she had learned about combat, and 2. let go of her hatred for Palpatine and Vader, and thats before training can really begin.

That maybe, but she has no real desire to find out who her real parents are at the time.DoctorPhanan wrote:Agreed with above, with the exception that RotJ implies Leia knows that she was adopted.Mr CorSec wrote:Leia meanwhile was raised as an Alderaanian Princess, and believes that her foster parents are her real parents so the orphan angle wouldn't work.
