Leia’s adoptive father Bail seeks out Obi-Wan - who is now going by Ben - and pleads for his help in rescuing Leia from her captors. One day, when she runs away from her obligations as the child of a Senator, she gets captured by bounty hunters seeking to lure in Obi-Wan on behalf of the Empire, who are hunting down Jedi methodically. Leia is a brash and rebellious (get it?) child. He has been tasked with keeping Luke safe while the Organa family is taking care of Luke’s sister, Leia, on the planet Alderaan.
