The reason they sent Luke to face Darth Vader instead of Leia was because they knew she’d emotionally destroy him beyond salvation.
She’d take one look at him, with his lightsaber ignited, and say something biting like “you hide behind a mask because you fear the monster you’ve become” and he’d just cry.

the fact that these dynamics are completely canon:
obi-wan and luke when they first met: obi-wan recues luke from tuskens when he trespassed their territory. luke and obi-wan have a polite conversation about the jedi. obi-wan gives anakin's lightsaber to luke as a gift.
obi-wan and leia when they first met: leia punches obi-wan in the stomach ON SIGHT. obi-wan rescues leia while she says "I dont trust you" to his face. leia wants to make obi-wan prove he's a jedi by provoking him with her sassy comments. obi-wan is forced to buy leia gloves after just one warning look from the kid.

Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "The Dark Side is a choice you make every day of your life."
Every single day, Vader wakes up, puts his armor on, and sets about his work of continuing to destroy everything Anakin Skywalker ever was.
Except.
On this day, Vader sees Obi-Wan, utterly distraught, weeping, apologizing for having failed him so utterly. And some part of him that's still Anakin Skywalker makes him say, "I am not your failure, Obi-Wan."
Maybe later he justifies it to himself by thinking he was claiming his choices. He's denying Obi-Wan any agency in the creation of Vader. Because he's obviously the best version of himself, after all. He's here because he wants to be. Because this is all there is.
But there's no denying that in the moment he says it, it's a kindness. It's a mercy. It's Anakin telling Obi-Wan, his master, one last thing to help him move past his guilt and grief.
All it takes is deciding for one moment not to do the Dark Side thing.
Every single day, Reva woke up, put her armor on, and resolved to do whatever she needed to do, to hurt or betray whoever she needed to, so she could finally be in a position to hurt Vader the way he hurt her.
Except.
On this day, she sees Luke, a child, helpless like she was helpless, and she can't do it. She can't kill him just to hurt Vader, to hurt Obi-Wan. She brings him back to his family.
All it takes is one moment.
Obi-Wan Kenobi said redemption begins with a single, simple, radical act of love. All it takes is deciding, even for an instant, you're not going to do the Dark Side thing today.
And I think that's really beautiful.
