[Deep down, Leia no doubt knows it's more complicated than that, and were it anyone else but Darth Vader that Obi-Wan had faced, she no doubt would have understood his feelings better. She also knows just as well that not having Vader around might not have changed anything at all. But, the fact that it was Vader and that Obi-Wan had a chance to prevent everything Vader would eventually do but didn't take advantage of it is a barrier to that.
Qui-Gon's response earns him a slight downturn of Leia's lips, as she's unsure how to take that. She isn't sure how far to trust him, or whether he's being sincere or passive aggressive with that comment.]
You say that as if you haven't already learned what presumably happens in my future.
[Presumably, because if she has her way, Darth Trainwreck isn't happening, and she refuses to accept otherwise as far as the fate of her family is concerned.]
[Qui-Gon clearly has more on his mind, but rather than speaking and (probablymost likely definitely) making this worse, he gives Leia a respectful bow.]
It has been a pleasure. Please enjoy the rest of the night.

If that's all, you're dismissed.
