Leia was in complete denial at this point. She just could not accept it. Dealing with Luke’s trauma was a welcome distraction.
A new-EU comic series goes into how, even after the Battle of Yavin, she refuses to deal with the loss of Alderaan and has to be taken off active duty. She goes on a bit of a walkabout with Evaan Verlaine (the only Y-wing pilot to survive the Death Star) and also a survivor of Alderaan. Neat story.

Leia is the only female character in the original trilogy. Something important to the story of a man was happening at the time so her story didn't matter.

i was about to say mon mothma but then i remembered that she doesn't really have an arc or anything she's just kinda there.

Okay sure.
How about the torture?

C'mon, that bra couldn't have hurt that much.

And Vader made it look to her like she was responsible for it for not answering his questions, even though they were clearly going to blow up the planet regardless as a demonstration of power.
Still, this scene tracks the characters that Leia would go hard and move forward in the face of tragedy while Luke was still basically a farm boy at this point and overwhelmed by it all.

The expert emotional compartmentalization just makes her all the more badass, IMHO.

Yeah I don't know if all of y'all being flabbergasted by woman being able to show emotional empathy despite her own problems is really the look you think it is.

The joke is more how her issues are completely sidelined in favour of his, which is even more ridiculous considering she lost everything. I view it as a jab at the misogyny embedded in the narrative telling of the time.

"You think that's bad?" Arthur said, still not completely able to come to terms with his thursday. "They demolished my house to build a bypass! And then they demolished my planet to build another bloody bypass!"
It’s bypasses all the way down.
