There's no evidence in the films that a Sith can just look at a

MC count: no. However, Vader does sense that the force is strong with
Luke, during the battle of Yavin.


Luke was using the Force at the time. There's no eveidence that Leia was
using
the Force at any time in the prescence of Vader or Palpatine.

There's no evidence either that Anakin was using the force in the
presence of Qui-Gon. Still, Qui-Gon sensed the boy had special powers
pretty much when he first met him.

And I didn't see any evidence that QGJ sensed the boy's Force potential on
their first meeting. He didn't spare two seconds worth of attention to the
tyke in the shop.

It wasn't until many scenes later that QGJ postulated that Anakin was
Force-sensitive and that was after the revelation that Anakin was a
professional podracer - a sport well beyond the reflex range of mortal human
beings, let alone 9-year old mortal human beings. There was no Jedi remote
Force-reveal spellcasting going on - it was simple deductive logic that any
educated Republic citizen in that era could have done.

There's no reason to believe that the Chancellor had a similar opportunity
to deduce Leia's Force potential. Any encounter between him and Leia were
probably in the Senate Chamber where there were thousands of beings. Senator
Organa knew what was at stake and as the King of Alderaan, he would have
been in a position to bury all the records of Leia's podracing trophies and
all the police reports of her teachers who were found mysteriously dead with
broken necks after final exams and any other inconvenient childhood
incidents that might have exposed her true identity as Lady Vader. Unlike
Luke, Leia presumably is sufficiently in touch with the state of the galaxy
to know that the Jedi are persona-non-grata under the Sidious administration
and so isn't going to knowingly behave publically in any way that suggests
she is one (especially when she herself doesn't know she is one.)
