Leadership Edges give bonuses on various rolls, and normally bonuses from different edges don't stack, as far as I know. What if a character has, for example, Combat Reflexes (+2 to recover from Shaken) and is commanded by someone with Inspire (allies under your command get +2 to recover from Shaken)? Would this guy get a +4 to recover?
Also, the Legendary Edges Weapon Master and Master of Arms as well as the Edges Block and Improved Block both give bonuses to a character's Parry. These would not stack, though, right?

They'd stack. Only Professional Edges don't stack.
The NPC (Leadership Edges have no effect on Wild Cards going strictly by the rules), would get +4 to recover from being Shaken if he was within 5" of a leader with Inspire.

They'd stack. If you had all four Edges, you'd have +4 Parry. The highest Parry, without weapon modifiers, would be 13 (Fighting d12+2 (=9), plus Block, Imp Block, Weapon Master, and Master of Arms).
Edit: In a simialr vein, taking Attractive, Very Attractive, and Charismatic does give you +6 Charisma.

Well, we can start right here. Unless it is specifically stated otherwise, bonuses from different Edges would indeed stack. There is no general rule that says they don't.
The main exception in SW would be Professional Edges, which state in their description the limitation on stacking.
I suppose a secondary "exception" would be Improved versions of Edges that supercede the "lesser" version (i.e. a character with Attractive and Very Attractive has a +4 bonus to Charisma; they don't add the two Edges together for +6).

So the direct answer is the effects would stack in all these cases.
Hope this helps.
