But let me ask, with all of the interviews that Lucas has done. Has he ever said that OT Vader could “read minds”?Yes, it’s referenced in A New Hope during the Death Star conference the officer says '‘Your sad devotion to that ancient religion hasn’t helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels’ hidden fortress."
Motti is obviously mocking Vader’s abilities, without knowing what they entail, which is why this happens:
Vader also states that Leia’s “resistance to the mind probe is considerable”.
Mind probe:

This backs up exactly what Adywan has said - that those with the Force are actually BETTER at resisting mind probing than those without. It is the opposite of this convoluted nonsense that DrDre has been tying himself in knots trying to justify.
Leia wasn’t Luke’s sister yet when ANH was released, and thus wasn’t with the Force as you claim. She only became Luke’s sister during the development of ROTJ. The real nonsense is applying retroactive continuity to support your claims. Next you’ll claim Vader was Luke’s father in 1977, because it is stated in it’s sequels.
