One of the more popular Star Wars characters, Leia has been called a 1980s

Star Wars Expanded Universe, and has been referenced or parodied in several TV shows and films. Her "cinnamon bun" hairstyle from Star Wars (1977) and metal bikini from Return of the Jedi have become cultural icons. Fisher was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress for Star Wars and Return of the Jedi. She also received Saturn Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress for The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi
, the latter being a posthumous nomination.

Creation and casting

Leia was created by Star Wars creator George Lucas, who in 1999 explained his early development of the main characters:

The first [version] talked about a princess and an old general. The second version involved a father, his son, and his daughter; the daughter was the heroine of the film. Now the daughter has become Luke, Mark Hamill's character. There was also the story of two brothers where I transformed one of them into a sister. The older brother was imprisoned, and the young sister had to rescue him and bring him back to their dad.[6]

The character Princess Leia went through various changes as

Bail Antilles from the peaceful world of Organa Major. In the fourth draft, she is Leia Organa of Alderaan, which is how she appears in the finished film.[9]

Fisher was 19 when she was cast as Princess Leia,[10] with actresses including Amy Irving, Cindy Williams and Jodie Foster also up for the role.[11][12] In 2014, InkTank reported that the extended list of "more than two dozen actresses" who had auditioned for Leia included Glenn Close, Farrah Fawcett, Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek, Sigourney Weaver, Cybill Shepherd, Jane Seymour, Anjelica Huston, Kim Basinger, Kathleen Turner, Geena Davis, Meryl Streep,[13][14][15] and Terri Nunn.[16][17]

In his early story development for

sequel trilogy. Needing to explain the identity of the other potential Jedi mentioned by Yoda, Lucas decided that Leia would be revealed as Luke's twin.[19]

In the second draft of the Return of the Jedi screenplay, Obi-Wan tells Luke he has a twin sister. She and their mother were "sent to the protection of friends in a distant system. The mother died shortly thereafter, and Luke's sister was adopted by Ben's friends, the governor of Alderaan and his wife."[20] Fisher explained in 1983: "Leia's real father left her mother when she was pregnant, so her mother married this King Organa. I was adopted and grew up set apart from other people because I was a princess."[21]

Character

The Huffington Post.[23] Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1983:

There are a lot of people who don't like my character in these movies; they think I'm some kind of space bitch. She has no friends, no family; her planet was blown up in seconds ... so all she has is a cause. From the first film [Star Wars], she was just a soldier, front line and center. The only way they knew to make the character strong was to make her angry. In Return of the Jedi, she gets to be more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate.[21]

She said in 2014:

I would rather have played Han Solo. When I first read the script I thought that's the part to be, always wry and sardonic. He's always that. I feel like a lot of the time Leia's either worried or pissed or, thank God, sort of snarky. But I'm much more worried and pissed than Han Solo ever was, and those aren't fun things to play ... I had a lot of fun killing Jabba the Hutt. They asked me on the day if I wanted to have a stunt double kill Jabba. No! That's the best time I ever had as an actor. And the only reason to go into acting is if you can kill a giant monster.[10]

Original trilogy

Star Wars

Introduced in Star Wars (1977), Princess Leia of Alderaan is a member of the Imperial Senate and a leader in the Rebel Alliance. She is captured when Darth Vader boards her ship, demanding that she reveal the location of stolen architectural plans for the Death Star, the Galactic Empire's battle station. Before her interrogation, Leia hid the plans inside the droid R2-D2, and sent him to find one of the last remaining Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vader takes Leia to the Death Star and tortures her, but she offers him no information. The Death Star commander Grand Moff Tarkin threatens to destroy Alderaan unless she reveals the location of the Rebel base. She provides the location of an abandoned headquarters on Dantooine, but Tarkin obliterates Alderaan anyway. Leia is rescued by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca. They escape aboard Han's ship, the Millennium Falcon. After analyzing the Death Star schematics, the Rebels find a small weakness in the battle station, which allows Luke to destroy it with torpedoes launched from his X-wing. After the victory, Leia honors Luke, Han and Chewbacca for their heroism.

In 2015, Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post praised Leia's courage and resiliency while experiencing imprisonment, torture, and the destruction of her home planet.[24] Rosenberg also notes that while Han is almost immediately attracted to Leia, they end up in conflict because she insists on asserting command and he automatically resists, even as she proves herself to be worthy of it.[24]

Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1980 that in the original script, when Luke and Han arrive to rescue Leia, she is unconscious, her eyes are yellow and she is hanging upside down, imagery which alludes to the 1973 horror film

The Exorcist. Fisher explained that the scene was changed because Chewbacca would have had to carry Leia for an extended period of time.[25]

The Empire Strikes Back

In

carbonite and handed over to the bounty hunter Boba Fett. As Lando, Leia, and Chewbacca escape from Cloud City, Leia senses that Luke is in trouble, and she orders Chewbacca to turn the ship around and rescue him. He was wounded during a lightsaber
duel with Vader, and used the Force to contact Leia.

Commenting on Han's attempt to pry a confession of affection out Leia, Rosenberg asserts that "Han's not wrong that if Leia doesn't figure out that she's a person with needs, she's going to burn out ... In a way, it's an early confession of love: Han's anxious about the bounty hunters who are still pursuing him ... But he would stay and give his love and support to Leia if she could just acknowledge that she needs him."[24]

Return of the Jedi

In

Ewoks
, the Rebels manage to destroy the Death Star and defeat the Empire.

Fisher told Rolling Stone in 1983, "In Return of the Jedi, [Leia] gets to be more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate. But let's not forget that these movies are basically boys' fantasies. So the other way they made her more female in this one was to have her take off her clothes."[21] Rosenberg writes of Han and Leia:

And we know those two crazy kids are locked for life in Return of the Jedi when it turns out that Han has accepted a Generalship in the Rebellion, keeping it a secret from Leia. In A New Hope, Leia was grumbling about the quality of Han as a rescuer ... But when she finds out what Han's done, accepting a rank he once found insulting and a mission she knows to be dangerous, Leia is the first person to volunteer to join his strike team. In Star Wars, that's what love looks like: trusting your partner's commitment to the cause and respecting his strategic and technical judgment.[24]

Revenge of the Sith

Sequel trilogy

Main article: Star Wars sequel trilogy

The Force Awakens

Carrie Fisher reprised the role of Leia in The Force Awakens in 2015

Leia returns in

Starkiller Base, he asks him to abandon the First Order. Ren refuses and instead kills his father. Leia senses Han's death through the Force, and later shares a moment of grief with the scavenger Rey
, who viewed Han as a father figure.

Although Leia appears as a Jedi in various

Star Wars Legends works, she is not depicted that way in The Force Awakens. The film's director, J.J. Abrams, explained that Leia's decision to lead the Resistance instead of training as a Jedi was "simply a choice that she made". Nevertheless, he affirmed that Leia's strength with the Force is an intrinsic part of her character.[26] Asked to describe Leia in the film, Fisher said she is under "a lot of pressure" and is likely feeling "somewhat defeated, tired, and pissed."[27] Fisher was nominated for a 2016 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.[28]

The Last Jedi

Fisher returns as Leia in

Crait. He reunites with Leia and apologizes for Ben's fall to the dark side. Leia says that her son is gone, but Luke assures her that nobody is ever truly gone. While Luke distracts Ren and his troops, Leia and the remaining Resistance forces escape in the Falcon. The filming of Fisher's scenes was completed shortly before her death on December 27, 2016.[29][30][31]

The Rise of Skywalker

Following Fisher's death,

Lieutenant Connix in all three sequel trilogy films, stepped in as Leia for a brief flashback scene. Her face was digitally replaced by Fisher's, using imagery from Return of the Jedi.[36]

In the film, Leia continues to lead the Resistance while guiding Rey in her Jedi training; a flashback presented later reveals that Leia abandoned her own Jedi instruction with Luke after seeing a vision of her son's death. While Rey and Ren duel on

Exegol
, a transformed Ben Solo utilizes the remainder of his life force to revive a comatose Rey, then vanishes into the Force at the same time as his mother. Rey travels to the Lars homestead on Tatooine and buries the lightsabers that had belonged to Leia and Luke. As the Force spirits of her two mentors look on, Rey tells a passerby that her name is "Rey Skywalker."

Rogue One

Leia makes a brief appearance in the final scene of the 2016 film Rogue One. She receives the stolen plans for the Death Star as a lead-up to the beginning of Star Wars. Since Rogue One takes place just prior to the original trilogy, a young Leia was required. To create this effect, a computer-generated image of a young Carrie Fisher was superimposed over the face of the actress Ingvild Deila. Archival audio of Fisher was used to voice the character.[37][38]

Series

A teenage Princess Leia, voiced by Julie Dolan, appears in a 2016 episode of the animated series Star Wars Rebels, which is set between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars. In the episode, Leia is sent on a secret mission for the Rebel Alliance. Executive producer Dave Filoni said of the appearance, "We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope. One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn't believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent."[39] Leia also appears in the web series Forces of Destiny (2017–2018 )voiced by Shelby Young,[40] and in the animated series Star Wars Resistance, voiced by Rachel Butera and Carolyn Hennesy.[3][41]

Leia appears as a ten-year-old child in the 2022 live-action series Obi-Wan Kenobi, portrayed by Vivien Lyra Blair.[42] Of Blair's casting, series writer Joby Harold said the show wanted an actor who would embody a young Carrie Fisher,[43] and Eric Deggans of NPR later wrote that Blair "practically channels Carrie Fisher's subversive, wisecracking spirit".[44]

Novels

Leia makes her first literary appearance in

point-of-view character in the 2015 novelization of The Force Awakens by Foster.[46]

Foster's 1978 novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye was commissioned by Lucas as the basis for a potential low-budget sequel to Star Wars should the film prove unsuccessful.[47] In the story, Luke and Leia seek a crystal on a swampy planet and eventually face Vader in combat.

Leia appears in the

Leia: Princess of Alderaan (2017). The former is set six years before The Force Awakens, while the latter features a 16-year-old Leia before the events of A New Hope. She also leads in Beth Revis' Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel which is set immediately right after Return of the Jedi.[53]

Comics

Leia appears in the limited series Star Wars: Princess Leia (2015), which takes place immediately after Star Wars. She is also featured in the four-part series Star Wars: Shattered Empire (2015), set immediately after Return of the Jedi.[54] Princess Leia depicts Leia training in martial arts on Alderaan and explores her reaction to the destruction of the planet, while Shattered Empire portrays her as a skilled pilot who undertakes a dangerous mission alongside Poe Dameron's mother.[55][56] Leia also appears in Star Wars #12.[57]

Cultural impact

Princess Leia cosplay (Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California, April 2015)

Princess Leia has been called a 1980s icon,[84] a feminist hero[85] and "an exemplary personification of female empowerment".[23] UGO Networks listed Leia as one of their best heroes of all time in 2010.[86]

The character has been referenced or parodied in several TV shows and films,[87] and is celebrated in cosplay.[citation needed] In 2013, cartoonist Jeffrey Brown published the bestselling Star Wars: Vader's Little Princess, a comic strip-style book featuring Darth Vader and a young Leia in humorous father-daughter situations.[88][89][90]

Leia has been used in a wide range of Star Wars merchandise.[91][92] In her one-woman show Wishful Drinking, Fisher called the Princess Leia Pez dispenser one of the "merchandising horrors" of the series.[93] In a 2011 interview, Fisher said:

I signed away my likeness for free. In those days, there was no such thing as a "likeness" ... There was no merchandising tied to movies. No one could have known the extent of the franchise. Not that I don't think I'm cute or anything, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't think I was signing away anything of value. Lately I feel like I'm Minnie Mouse—the identity of Princess Leia so eclipses any other identity that I've ever had.[91]

"Cinnamon buns" hairstyle

Leia's unique hairdo in Star Wars—arranged in two large buns, one on each side of her head—has come to be known as the "doughnut" or "

Queen Fria, a character from the 1930s Flash Gordon comic serial.[99] Lucas had originally wanted to film an adaptation of Flash Gordon, but unable to obtain the rights, he began developing an original project which would become Star Wars.[100]

A February 1978 cover story for the British teen magazine

Star Wars-themed episode of the series in February 1980.[104] In the 1987 Mel Brooks comedy film Spaceballs, Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) appears to have the hairstyle, which is soon revealed to in fact be a large pair of headphones.[87] In the parody film Thumb Wars, the role of Leia was filled by a character named Princess Bunhead, who has two cinnamon rolls for hair. In 2015, Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd's character in the horror-comedy TV series Scream Queens, a rich and disaffected sorority girl known as Chanel No. 3, wears earmuffs in every scene as an homage to Fisher's iconic Leia hairstyle.[105][106] Lourd also has a cameo in The Force Awakens (2015) in which she wears Leia's distinctive hair buns.[107]

Feminist analysis

Leia has been the subject of feminist analysis. Mark Edlitz wrote for The Huffington Post in 2010 that "Leia is an exemplary personification of female empowerment."[23] David Bushman, television curator at the Paley Center for Media, said in 2012, "From the male perspective ... Princess Leia was a very creditable character for her time—not perfect, but certainly defiant, assertive, and strong."[84] Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post wrote in 2015, "Leia wasn't just the first great heroine of science fiction and fantasy to capture my imagination. She was one of the first characters I encountered whose power came from her political conviction and acumen."[24] In her 2007 article "Feminism and the Force: Empowerment and Disillusionment in a Galaxy Far, Far Away", Diana Dominguez cited Leia as a welcome change from the previous portrayals of women in film and TV.[96] She wrote:

Here was a woman who could play like and with the boys, but who didn't have to become one of the boys and who could, if and when she wanted to, show she liked the boys, a woman who is outspoken, unashamed, and, most importantly, unpunished for being so. She isn't a flirty sex-pot, tossing her hair around seductively to distract the enemy ... She doesn't play the role of "Maternal caretaker", although she does display caring and compassion, or "the sweet innocent damsel" who stands passively by while the men do all the work, but does step aside to let them do what they're good at when it is wise to do so ... Leia is a hero without losing her gendered status; she does not have to play the cute, helpless sex kitten or become sexless and androgynous to get what she wants. She can be strong, sassy, outspoken, bossy, and bitchy, and still be respected and seen as feminine.[96][108]

Rosenberg writes that, though at first Luke is an apolitical innocent in search of adventure and Han is a detached opportunist in search of money, both are "influenced by Leia's passion [and] take their places as full participants in the Rebellion".[24] She notes, "Everyone else eventually comes around to Leia's view of the world."[24] Leia herself, singularly dedicated to her political movement against the Empire, "finds a partner in Han, acknowledging that personal happiness can help her sustain her commitment to building a better galactic order".[24] Rosenberg cites "Leia's willingness to see the best in him, and Han's desire to live up to her belief in him" as a foundation of their relationship, also pointing out his attempts to make her recognize that she has needs like anyone else and should acknowledge that she needs him.[24]

In their 2012 essay "Lightsabers, Political Arenas, and Marriages", Ray Merlock and Kathy Merlock Jackson cite Leia as the successor of earlier science fiction heroines Wilma Deering of Buck Rogers and Dale Arden of Flash Gordon, and the embodiment of "a new stage in the ongoing presentation of the fairy-tale princess in jeopardy". Writing that "after Leia, no longer would princesses be passive and salvaged simply with a kiss," they note the reflection of the character in later Disney Princess animated films and in woman warriors such as Ellen Ripley from the Alien franchise and Xena of the adventure TV series Xena: Warrior Princess.[96] A. O. Scott of The New York Times described Leia as "a foremother of Hermione Granger and Katniss Everdeen and of countless latter-day Disney princesses. She also foretold the recent, somewhat belated feminist turn in the Star Wars cycle itself".[109]

Mark Hamill described Fisher's performance as:

She was effortlessly feminist, you know? She wasn't some shrinking violet that needed a guy to come to rescue her. In fact, she made Han and Luke look like chumps. She was anything but what I expected. I mean, I sort of thought, "Well, she's 19, that's barely out of high school." And in many ways, she was a lot older and wiser than I was.[110]

Fisher herself described Leia as a "huge" feminist icon, dismissing the suggestion that the character was ever a "damsel in distress". Fisher said of Leia, "She bossed them around. I don't know what your idea of distress is, but that wasn't it! And I wasn't some babe running through the galaxy with my tits bouncing around. So I wasn't threatening to women".[111] She added, "I like Princess Leia. I like how she was feisty. I like how she killed Jabba the Hutt".[109] "I think I am Princess Leia, and Princess Leia is me. It's like a Möbius striptease."[112][113]

Metal bikini

Madame Tussauds London

Leia's slave costume when she is held captive by

Wired wrote in 2006, "There's no doubt that the sight of Carrie Fisher in the gold sci-fi swimsuit was burned into the sweaty subconscious of a generation of fanboys hitting puberty in the spring of 1983."[118] Fisher said in 2015, "I am not a sex symbol, so that's an opinion of someone. I don’t share that".[119][120]

Allie Townsend of Time wrote in 2011 that the so-called "slave Leia" outfit has gained a cult following of its own.[117] Rosenberg noted that "the costume has become culturally iconic in a way that has slipped loose from the context of the scenes in which Leia wore it and the things she does after she is forced into the outfit."[85] Acknowledging the opinion of some that the "slave Leia" iconography tarnishes the character's position as "feminist hero",[85] Rosenberg argued:

Leia may be captive in these scenes, but she's not exactly a compliant fantasy. Instead, she's biding her time for the moment when she can put that fury into action, carrying out a carefully laid plan to rescue her lover. And when that moment comes, the bikini doesn't condemn Leia to passivity. She rises, and uses the very chains that bind her to strangle the creature who tried to take away her power by turning her into a sex object.[85]

Science fiction filmmaker Letia Clouston concurred, saying "Sci-fi has had a long history of strong female characters. Yes, Princess Leia was in a gold bikini, but she was also the one who single-handedly killed Jabba. When you take into account movies and TV shows like Terminator, Aliens, Battlestar Galactica, and even video games like Metroid, you can see sci-fi has consistently promoted the strength of women more than any other genre."[84] Peter W. Lee argues that the bikini connotes Leia's hopelessness and helplessness, but even in that demeaning costume she retains her dignity and remains an icon of feminism.[121] Noah Berlatsky argued in The Guardian for a deeper significance to the costume beyond its function as a sex symbol, stating that the outfit represents an important stage in Princess Leia's complicated relationship with Han Solo.[122]

The outfit was created by Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Nilo Rodis-Jamero, costume designers for Return of the Jedi.

string bikini top, paired with a bottom consisting of sculpted metal plates in the front and back covering a red silk loincloth. Fisher wore leather boots, serpentine jewelry and a collar and chain that bound her to her captor, which she ultimately uses to strangle him.[114] Multiple versions of the metal bikini were created to accommodate different scenes in the film, including metal pieces by sculptor Richard Miller for scenes in which Fisher remained still,[118][125] and a rubber version she and stuntwoman Tracy Eddon could wear comfortably while performing stunts.[118] The costume designers made a mold of Fisher's torso so it could be designed to a custom fit.[118] Fisher quipped that the bikini was "what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell."[92]

Fisher posed in the costume for a 1983 cover story in Rolling Stone.[126][127] The costume has been parodied in various TV series and films, including Friends (1996), Family Guy (2000) and Fanboys (2009).[87][118][128] Yvonne Strahovski's appearance wearing the costume in Chuck (2009) prompted Wizard to rank her No. 24 of the 25 sexiest women on TV in 2008.[129] IGN gave Strahovski the top honor in a similar list.[130] Comedian Amy Schumer wore a replica of the outfit for the August 2015 cover of GQ.[131][132]

An original rubber version of the costume sold for $96,000 at auction in 2015.[133] Despite its iconic status among many fans of the franchise, the slave Leia outfit has sometimes incited controversy.[134][135] In response to a 2015 news segment in which parents described difficulties explaining toys featuring the costume (including a chain around Leia's neck) to their children. Fisher called Disney's decision "stupid," saying, "Tell [the kids] that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn't like it."[135][136]
