“Is Darth really so evil? He’s supposed to torture Leia to find the location of the rebel base, but we show no signs he ever did.”
There is a radio-play version, six hours long, which spends significant time on Leia’s tortured interrogation. Trust me: there’s a reason it’s not expanded on in the PG-rated movie - the agony & terror involved would have pushed the rating well into R.
Not canon. Didn’t happen. ;-) Besides, she shows no physical or psychological effect of having been through torture.
All you really see is a needle, which tells me that they just injected her with truth serum. She does not look the least bit hurt or injured in subsequent scenes.

Not if he used Yoko Ono songs and videos of Hillary Clinton talking about her vagina all the time.
