Somebody really needs to bring her biography up to the level of Anakin, Luke, and Han. -- LtNOWIS 22:00, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Somebody needs to expand on Leia's Force powers, strength, and lightsaber training 06:23 January 19 2006 (UTC)
If you want to add new titles for Leia, (ie Princess, First Chairman, Grand Poobah etc) PLEASE don't just replaced the one that's there. It's there for a reason- to link her with preceeding Senators of Alderaan. If you replace the text, it stuffs it up. If you want to add more titles, add more boxes. -- QuentinGeorge 06:10, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Somebody REALLY needs to find a more appropriate image... -- Frenchman113 21:05, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
I disagree. Her profession is described as a senator. The first picture of her on the page shouldn't be her in a metal bikini and it shouldn't be her hefting a blaster either. It should be more dignified. Put the other pictures further down on the page if you want, but her character serves a greater purpose than eye candy and deserves more respect than that. 216.242.114.115 19:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Y'all need a better image? how 'bout better images!. Thats right! I just put in a TON of images of leia, with two of them in her bikini. The ones I put in aren't so robust and pop out large, but i included the old one that you argued wasn't in the movie. i included the link to that one, and i have an image of leia on there. Jackson Smith 01:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm just curious whether or not Leia constructed her own lightsaber during the Expanded Universe of Star Wars. I know Luke managed to construct a lightsaber that all his own, but did Leia construct a lightsaber that's all her own?
That one is a complicated issue, because Padme's real last name was Naberrie, not Amidala. I believe Leia's full name is Leia Naberrie Skywalker Organa Solo.
Shouldn't it just be Leia Organa and not Solo since it is never mentioned in the movies if she does marry Han Solo. The expanded universe is typically just canon and goes into the realm of possibility but not reality. Who's not to say that Leia marries the son of Darth Maul's brother? It is never really 100% positive she does marry Han.
I question whether the Quotations section is really all that necessary. I think it could be deleted entirely, but if not, I think it should be edited so only relevant, important quotes are retained (it seems like a lot aren't necessary). It also needs to be formatted better. – Mipadi 01:56, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
I know this is rather trivial, but shouldn't there be at least some mention of the Episode IV hairstyle? -- AnonMoos 18:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
There was actually a not too unusual hairstyle amongst fashionable ladies in 14th century Europe that closely resembles Leia's 'cinnamon bun' hair. I don't know how important that would be to mention. Also I don't feel like trying to track down the sources; I've studied medieval costume for many years and have seen probably a thousand pictures or more and can't always remember from which book I saw which picture, and don't really feel like tracking the bun-hair down at the moment. -- 68.35.94.119 06:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've often wondered how far Jabba the Hut took his molesting of Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi. When Leia killed Jabba on the floating barge. There seemed to be a lot of hostility in the act and her eyes were very angry. Was all of this rage from a couple of sloppy kisses that the film showed? Or was there more? Did he possible sexually assault her? What do you think?
That thought is so......personally disturbing i don't even want to think of it. It makes me cower to think of what she dealt with if the latter happened....'large shudder'. -Starwarsfighter
I fully support the popular notion that Jabba did, in fact, "molest" Leia to certain degrees. My theory, however, is supported by several facts presented by what the movie actually shows, and not by the innacuracies of fan fiction or the imaginatively lewd imagery of locker-room talk.
The first of these "facts" is that an unspecified period of time had lapsed between her capture and the first shot of her in slave garb sitting before him - this completely dispels the notion that Jabba didn't have enough time to do anything to her.
Fact #2: Leia went from wearing her Boussh costume to wearing a highly exotic "metal bikini," as well as being chained by her neck to Jabba's throne, during her time as his slave.
Fact #3: Jabba obviously enjoyed sexually humiliating females. This is exemplified by all the various scantily-clad women (human and otherwise) strutting around his palace, frequently seen performing exotic dances at his every beck and call.
Fact #4: Look at Oola's reaction to Jabba when he was pulling her chain (a noteworthy act in itself - he's trying to pull her to himself); she resists his orders, attempting to pull her chain away from him, terribly upset and scared. As a result, Jabba has her killed.
Fact #5: Jabba seems to enjoy "making passes" at Leia. When she's first captured, he pulls her to himself very closely (and if observed carefully, it is apparent that Jabba makes an emphasis on pressing Leia's lower body close to his own), and proceeds to "slop-kiss" her. Then some time later (perhaps several days?), after she's been forced into the now-famous "metal bikini," Leia is repeatedly pulled closely to Jabba, including during a suggestively erotic repeat of their original embrace while on the Sail Barge - and this latter instance is another fact in itself.
Fact #6: Jabba had pulled Leia's chain, to be true, but Leia made a deliberate effort of running to him, leaping onto his throne, rising before Jabba, and pressing her lower body against his before fully leaning into him, after which Bib Fortuna places his hand on her back to keep her close. This brings me to the last fact...
Fact #7: Leia hardly flinches while with Jabba. When he first captures her and licks his lips, she groans and turns her head away in disgust. However, from then on, every shot of the two of them shows Leia looking unhappy, but not grossed out. Even as Jabba pulls her to himself in the aforementioned Sail Barge scene - even as her bare belly pressing against his squishy, inhuman flesh - Leia does not show any sign of disgust, but only worry for her friends. Obviously, Leia had to have gone through much personal change in her time with Jabba, namely getting used to the feeling of his loathsome touch.
In retrospect, it is safe to assume that A--Leia spent more than one night with Jabba as his slave, B--Jabba forced Leia into the metal bikini during this time, and C--Jabba had performed actions upon Leia/forced Leia into performing actions which resulted in her relaxation around his presence.
I rest my case.

I think that Fact#6 is just bad acting
I'm just wondering how the "long period of time" statement can be justified (re: Leia's captivity with Jabba). Jabba's dungeons aren't exactly the cleanest of places, but when Han, Luke and Chewie are sentenced to be thrown into the Sarlacc, Han's shirt is a nice crisp white still! He can't have been in the dungeon for long. Unless the Gamorrean Guards have a wonderful laundry service that is :)
How does this discussion of Jabba sexually abusing Leia have anything to do with making this article better? I see no point unless you want to include all this! In my opinion, you just love talking about leia and how she looks so sexy in that ridiculously skimpy golden bikini!- anonymous
Okay. Well, i read over the facts, and those would be great to include in the RoTJ section. Anonymous.
I just cut an entire section from the article. It was labeled "Talents and appearances", but nothing in it had anything to do with either, and was written very, very poorly. I also removed a bullet from the trivia for the same reason. Feel free to re-add them after rewriting them; I would have done it myself, but I'm short on time. EVula 19:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Why is it that Princess Leia doesn't look like Padme? She's supposed to be her daughter. She also doesn't bear any resemblance to Anakin. I mean, of course, it's just a question of casting, but why did they have to pick Natalie Portman for Padme's role? They should have chose someone who resembled Leia more. Padme just looks far more beautiful than Leia. Yeah, and Luke also didn't have the looks of his father.
You people! It's a just a goddamned flipping movie! Who cares if the actors don't resemble each other, they aren't really relatives and the charecters don't really exist! Sure, George Lucas made an incosistency because the old movies are the last three, wha else is new! GET OVER IT!

As Princess Leia escaped from the Death Star and the Imperials' death sentence on her, does that make her a Fictional escapee? Siyavash 18:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
No, she was resqued, so that would make her a fictional Damsel in distress, or possibly a pricess needing to be saved, like Princes Peach.
There really should be some verification of how Leia remembered Padme, considering how far-fetched a notion it is. I'm not accusing anyone who wrote this of fanwankery, as they were just stating the information that has been given, but the idea that Leia would say "She died when I was very young" instead of "She died giving birth to me" when she was five seconds old is just a bit silly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A gx7 ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC).
I agree wth you whole heartedly, but technically five seconds old is "very young". She wasn't lying when she said that, but I've heard of people remembering people who were alive when they're REALLY YOUNG even though they never knew them. It was rare though. Or, (I've said this fifteen flippin times today) George Lucas made an inconsistency because he made the last three episodes in the 1970's and he made the first three in the twentyfirst century. THAT IS MOST LIKELY THE EXPLANATION, because why don't you write a book, and release the sequel first then the first book, your bound to be somewhat inconsistent too. Or mabey the empire buld a giant ray and zapped the universe and turned everyone in Epsiodes IV, V, and VI nito stupid morons who use terms which don't accurately describe what happened! The horror! Why didn't they blow up that instead of the death star! Yeah, I hold on the George Lucas screwed up because he wrote the last three first and first three last theory.
Can someone back up the assertion that she is named for Steven Spielberg's mother? This is the first place I've heard it.
Jabba made his slave girls dance. So why is there nothing about leia dancing for Jabba? When oola didn't dance she was beat up. So why nothing about leia? She could not have layed there the whole time for his pleasure. -- 128.187.0.178 08:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)ranger101

I gave the section a copy-edit, and took out most of what appeared to be original research or fanfiction like emotions, but it still needs work. It is overly long and seems to go over every little bit of the plot. Just thought I'd bring that up on here. Darth griz 98 02:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I agree, the article reads far too much into that one part of the movie. At times it felt disgustingly graphic in its descriptions and read more like a dirty novel than a wikipedia article. jbonner01.
Someone let in a cat? There is a "meow" in the text. cb
I don't think that's a bad idea at all! It would certainly be appropriate—since Wookiepedia's page on Leia already has that title as a section—and would give the article a relieving boost. — Cinemaniac ( talk • contribs) 02:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
How did she remember her mother? Amidala died moments after Luke & Leia's birth. I know both her and Luke have the Force, but Luke (who's more trained in the Force) couldn't remember their mother. Perhaps Leia was thinking of her step-mother (Mrs. Organa). This should be added to the article (not sure how). GoodDay 20:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
In the original Revenge of the Sith script, Amidala DID raise Leia while Luke was on Tatooine. This is because she didn't die in the original. I guess they changed it to be more dramatic. Like it wasn't enough already! Son of Jadoja 12:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Also, it is to be noted that George Lucas confirmed that Leia was in fact remembering Padmé, dealing with the stronger mother-daughter bond and Leia have a connection through the force to her mother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.182.184 ( talk) 03:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Just curious why we're bothering to mention this as a "plot hole". Jedi are often known to be able to use the Force to enhance their memory. Leia has alot of Force potential. AND she never did say that she remembers her mother. She simply states that she remembers her mothers negative emotions at the time of her birth. She never stated that she remembered being born or her mother. Anyways, I just fail to see how this is a plothole.

Allrighty. I was re-reading it prior to looking back here, and I was going to correct myself. I agree, it is a plot hole. It might be able to be covered, if anyone could get Lucas to say that Leia used the Force :) WPinky ( talk) 05:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't a plot hole. In the novel Revenge of the Sith, and in The Life and Times of Leia Skywalker (brand new by the way, I pre-ordered so I don't expect you to have heard of it), Leia's eyes were open when Obi-Wan presented her to Padmé. Luke, on the contrary, had his eyes shut tight, so he didn't see a darn thing. Now, Obi-Wan saying that Yoda trained him in The Empire Strikes Back but having Qui-Gon train him in The Phantom Menace. Now THAT'S a plot hole. Gnmng Jreck
Not necessarily. Yoda trained younglings, and therfore must have trained Obi-Wan prior to Qui Gon. On another note regarding Leia remembering her mother. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall the novelization of ROTJ had Leia remembering she and he mother running in fear and Leia being hidden in a tree. Though that novel also stated Owen Lars was Obi-Wan's brother, and Vader didn't know Padme' was pregnant before Obi-Wan hid her away to protect her. I like these plot points better than the eventual back story.
As a non native speaker I don't understand what is meant by that. Can someone help me, and, would it be relevant to add that information directly into the article? thanks.

Have anyone thought, "slave Leia" wasn't in Luke's masterplan of saving Han Solo? It happened because Leia failed to escape with Han. She was caught with Han & without wearing her mask, so Jabba knew, the bounty hunter was a female human. So, what was Luke's real plan? After his friends came one by one to Jabba's palace, then he came alone. Was he trying to beat Jabba & his allies in the palace, not on the sail barge, like in the movie? I just wanna know..

I am again removing Image:LeiaStranglesJabba.jpg per WP:NFCC #8 ("Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."). This image does not substantially add to readers' understanding of the subject, and removing it does not obfuscate our understanding of a very straightforward plot point. All the article says about this scene is "Leia seizes the moment to kill Jabba by strangling him with the very chain that bound her." This is pretty clear cut; the image (like many in this article, frankly) is superfluous. -- EEMIV ( talk) 23:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Why is this such a huge image? Wikipedia isn't for titillation. This article should be a mature analysis, not an objectification, of the character.
I support retention of the image because it is probably the best-known Leia image from Return of the Jedi. I don't support (and have removed) the "forced to wear her iconic gold bikini" text reference because it is unnecessary in the context of the plot summary and is already captured in the inclusion of the image. Other views welcome. Euryalus 02:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Why is this listed as one of her titles? There is no source, either in the films or the EU, that lists her as that- and since "Queen" is an elected title on Naboo, there's no reason to assume that the daughter of a Queen would be considered a "Princess." That's without even getting into the fact that Leia was adopted and has never had any relevent connection with the planet. Removed unless someone finds a source that refers to her as such.

I'm not sure what makes it C; it's definitely a long article, but when I think of C-class, I think of something that is, while rough around the edges, more or less done. It has had a references cleanup tag for three and a half years that has clearly not been addressed; counting the unusable references, we have two IMDB links, a dead link to "xspaces", two Wikias, one fan site image, one YouTube video, one forum link, two links that have no mention whatsoever of Star Wars or Leia, a dead link to "Axel Jacob", a dead link to the Star Wars official web site, a dead link to an MTV interview (that, from the tone, does not sound like it is usable for what it is referencing), and 12 references that come from the films or people with a vested interest in the films. As it is, there are only three reliable sources that are actually accessible. Two other clean up tags, each dated about two and a half years ago, assert that their respective sections lack references, while one of the main cleanup tags assert that the content is written in an in-universe fashion.

I thought Leia's first kiss was Luke, or was that in Return of the Jedi? To be honest I think that the way the 'first kiss' passage is phrased is a perfect example of the overarching problem with this article - that it's far too casual. The article gives a complete summary of the films from Leia's perspective. I'm not sure that chronicling every one of Leia's appearances is the best way to describe her character. If it is, then they should be far more succinct and far less informal. David ovic 05:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Is there any way that we could change the article's name to "Leia Organa Solo"? This would be a good idea, since Wookieepedia's article on her has the same name as I suggested. She currently (as far as continuity goes) goes by names such as Leia Solo, and even "Jedi Solo".

I think Carrie Fisher needs to be in the lede or at least intro (before table of contents). She is so iconically associated with the role. When people picture Princess Leia, they don't envision the baby in Episode III or fan fiction drawings. I added it once and it was undone. I would like to say that Leia was portrayed by Carrie Fisher in four of the seven films spanning three decades.

It seems to me that the current article mixes up the description of the character with the character's critical reception. For example, the first sentence in the "Character" section is: 'Princess Leia has been called a 1980s icon,[1] a feminist hero[2] and even "the toughest woman in the galaxy".[3]' The fictional character of Leia, in the Star Wars universe, is not a 1980s icon. She probably isn't a feminist hero in the Star Wars universe either, but I don't know - maybe in some expanded universe story she is.

I disagree with listing Ingvild Deila in the infobox for portraying the character in Rogue One. It was a brief cameo and Carrie Fisher's face and voice was used. Deila was no more than a stand in or stunt actor. This seems to be a case of WP:UNDUE. If nobody objects, I'm going to remove her. JDDJS ( talk) 15:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm also all for removing the baby as well. If more editors don't get involved in this discussion, I'll start a request for comment. I just think that it's really a case of WP:UNDUE to list her in the infobox. JDDJS ( talk) 21:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
Kathleen Kennedy apparently said that Carrie Fisher would not appear in Episode 9. Well, this article isn't on Carrie Fisher, it's on Princess Leia. Unless she states the role will not be recast, there shouldn't be anything indicating that Princess Leia won't appear in episode 9, just that Carrie Fisher won't.

It's clearly crazy to have such a lengthy article for a FICTIONAL character when we can't keep a page up on REAL people who do prominent things. There is an incredible amount of disproportionate significance given to FICTIONAL CHARACTERS on Wikipedia. I would encourage active editors to work on editing down (deleting) such unnecessary information. Tleeditor ( talk) 17:10, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
The last paragraph of "Creation and casting" has nothing to do with the creation or casting of the character. It definitely belongs in the article, but I'm torn between (a) moving it out to its own section (which could be expanded with thorough analysis of its use in the films, assuming sources for such exist) and (b) creating a subsection at the end of "Creation and casting" called, say, "Music" and renaming the main section to something generix like "Concept".

On Wookieepedia, it states that Leia's birth name was "Leia Amidala Skywalker;" of course, this was originally just in Legends, but I did a little bit of digging, and there is a source in the current Star Wars canon that lists her birth name as Leia Amidala Skywalker: the 2016 edition of the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded by Pablo Hidalgo. On page 20, the page about Bail Organa, there's a caption that reads "Bail and his wife, Breha, adopt Leia Amidala Skywalker." I've provided a link to the page on Google Books below. With that in mind, should her birth name be added to this article? Perhaps underneath her full name in the table? Just a thought. May the Force be with you.

If you want to add new titles for Leia, (ie Princess, First Chairman, Grand Poobah etc) PLEASE don't just replaced the one that's there. It's there for a reason- to link her with preceeding Senators of Alderaan. If you replace the text, it stuffs it up.

I disagree. Her profession is described as a senator. The first picture of her on the page shouldn't be her in a metal bikini and it shouldn't be her hefting a blaster either. It should be more dignified. Put the other pictures further down on the page if you want, but her character serves a greater purpose than eye candy and deserves more respect than that. 216.242.114.115 19:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Y'all need a better image? how 'bout better images!. Thats right! I just put in a TON of images of leia, with two of them in her bikini. The ones I put in aren't so robust and pop out large, but i included the old one that you argued wasn't in the movie. i included the link to that one, and i have an image of leia on there. Jackson Smith 01:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm just curious whether or not Leia constructed her own lightsaber during the Expanded Universe of Star Wars. I know Luke managed to construct a lightsaber that all his own, but did Leia construct a lightsaber that's all her own?
That one is a complicated issue, because Padme's real last name was Naberrie, not Amidala. I believe Leia's full name is Leia Naberrie Skywalker Organa Solo.
Shouldn't it just be Leia Organa and not Solo since it is never mentioned in the movies if she does marry Han Solo. The expanded universe is typically just canon and goes into the realm of possibility but not reality. Who's not to say that Leia marries the son of Darth Maul's brother? It is never really 100% positive she does marry Han.
I question whether the Quotations section is really all that necessary. I think it could be deleted entirely, but if not, I think it should be edited so only relevant, important quotes are retained (it seems like a lot aren't necessary). It also needs to be formatted better. – Mipadi 01:56, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

There was actually a not too unusual hairstyle amongst fashionable ladies in 14th century Europe that closely resembles Leia's 'cinnamon bun' hair. I don't know how important that would be to mention. Also I don't feel like trying to track down the sources; I've studied medieval costume for many years and have seen probably a thousand pictures or more and can't always remember from which book I saw which picture, and don't really feel like tracking the bun-hair down at the moment. -- 68.35.94.119 06:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've often wondered how far Jabba the Hut took his molesting of Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi. When Leia killed Jabba on the floating barge. There seemed to be a lot of hostility in the act and her eyes were very angry. Was all of this rage from a couple of sloppy kisses that the film showed? Or was there more? Did he possible sexually assault her? What do you think?
That thought is so......personally disturbing i don't even want to think of it. It makes me cower to think of what she dealt with if the latter happened....'large shudder'. -Starwarsfighter
I fully support the popular notion that Jabba did, in fact, "molest" Leia to certain degrees. My theory, however, is supported by several facts presented by what the movie actually shows, and not by the innacuracies of fan fiction or the imaginatively lewd imagery of locker-room talk.
The first of these "facts" is that an unspecified period of time had lapsed between her capture and the first shot of her in slave garb sitting before him - this completely dispels the notion that Jabba didn't have enough time to do anything to her.
Fact #2: Leia went from wearing her Boussh costume to wearing a highly exotic "metal bikini," as well as being chained by her neck to Jabba's throne, during her time as his slave.
Fact #3: Jabba obviously enjoyed sexually humiliating females. This is exemplified by all the various scantily-clad women (human and otherwise) strutting around his palace, frequently seen performing exotic dances at his every beck and call.
Fact #4: Look at Oola's reaction to Jabba when he was pulling her chain (a noteworthy act in itself - he's trying to pull her to himself); she resists his orders, attempting to pull her chain away from him, terribly upset and scared. As a result, Jabba has her killed.
Fact #5: Jabba seems to enjoy "making passes" at Leia. When she's first captured, he pulls her to himself very closely (and if observed carefully, it is apparent that Jabba makes an emphasis on pressing Leia's lower body close to his own), and proceeds to "slop-kiss" her. Then some time later (perhaps several days?), after she's been forced into the now-famous "metal bikini," Leia is repeatedly pulled closely to Jabba, including during a suggestively erotic repeat of their original embrace while on the Sail Barge - and this latter instance is another fact in itself.
Fact #6: Jabba had pulled Leia's chain, to be true, but Leia made a deliberate effort of running to him, leaping onto his throne, rising before Jabba, and pressing her lower body against his before fully leaning into him, after which Bib Fortuna places his hand on her back to keep her close. This brings me to the last fact...
Fact #7: Leia hardly flinches while with Jabba. When he first captures her and licks his lips, she groans and turns her head away in disgust. However, from then on, every shot of the two of them shows Leia looking unhappy, but not grossed out. Even as Jabba pulls her to himself in the aforementioned Sail Barge scene - even as her bare belly pressing against his squishy, inhuman flesh - Leia does not show any sign of disgust, but only worry for her friends. Obviously, Leia had to have gone through much personal change in her time with Jabba, namely getting used to the feeling of his loathsome touch.
In retrospect, it is safe to assume that A--Leia spent more than one night with Jabba as his slave, B--Jabba forced Leia into the metal bikini during this time, and C--Jabba had performed actions upon Leia/forced Leia into performing actions which resulted in her relaxation around his presence.
I rest my case.
Questions? USEFUL comments? E-mail me at starsidetraveller@gmail.com
I think that Fact#6 is just bad acting
I'm just wondering how the "long period of time" statement can be justified (re: Leia's captivity with Jabba). Jabba's dungeons aren't exactly the cleanest of places, but when Han, Luke and Chewie are sentenced to be thrown into the Sarlacc, Han's shirt is a nice crisp white still! He can't have been in the dungeon for long. Unless the Gamorrean Guards have a wonderful laundry service that is :)
How does this discussion of Jabba sexually abusing Leia have anything to do with making this article better? I see no point unless you want to include all this! In my opinion, you just love talking about leia and how she looks so sexy in that ridiculously skimpy golden bikini!- anonymous
Okay. Well, i read over the facts, and those would be great to include in the RoTJ section. Anonymous.
I just cut an entire section from the article. It was labeled "Talents and appearances", but nothing in it had anything to do with either, and was written very, very poorly. I also removed a bullet from the trivia for the same reason. Feel free to re-add them after rewriting them; I would have done it myself, but I'm short on time. EVula 19:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Why is it that Princess Leia doesn't look like Padme? She's supposed to be her daughter. She also doesn't bear any resemblance to Anakin. I mean, of course, it's just a question of casting, but why did they have to pick Natalie Portman for Padme's role? They should have chose someone who resembled Leia more. Padme just looks far more beautiful than Leia. Yeah, and Luke also didn't have the looks of his father.
You people! It's a just a goddamned flipping movie! Who cares if the actors don't resemble each other, they aren't really relatives and the charecters don't really exist! Sure, George Lucas made an incosistency because the old movies are the last three, wha else is new! GET OVER IT!

As Princess Leia escaped from the Death Star and the Imperials' death sentence on her, does that make her a Fictional escapee? Siyavash 18:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
No, she was resqued, so that would make her a fictional Damsel in distress, or possibly a pricess needing to be saved, like Princes Peach.
There really should be some verification of how Leia remembered Padme, considering how far-fetched a notion it is. I'm not accusing anyone who wrote this of fanwankery, as they were just stating the information that has been given, but the idea that Leia would say "She died when I was very young" instead of "She died giving birth to me" when she was five seconds old is just a bit silly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A gx7 ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC).
I agree wth you whole heartedly, but technically five seconds old is "very young". She wasn't lying when she said that, but I've heard of people remembering people who were alive when they're REALLY YOUNG even though they never knew them. It was rare though. Or, (I've said this fifteen flippin times today) George Lucas made an inconsistency because he made the last three episodes in the 1970's and he made the first three in the twentyfirst century. THAT IS MOST LIKELY THE EXPLANATION, because why don't you write a book, and release the sequel first then the first book, your bound to be somewhat inconsistent too. Or mabey the empire buld a giant ray and zapped the universe and turned everyone in Epsiodes IV, V, and VI nito stupid morons who use terms which don't accurately describe what happened! The horror! Why didn't they blow up that instead of the death star! Yeah, I hold on the George Lucas screwed up because he wrote the last three first and first three last theory.
Can someone back up the assertion that she is named for Steven Spielberg's mother? This is the first place I've heard it.
Jabba made his slave girls dance. So why is there nothing about leia dancing for Jabba? When oola didn't dance she was beat up. So why nothing about leia? She could not have layed there the whole time for his pleasure. -- 128.187.0.178 08:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)ranger101

How did she remember her mother? Amidala died moments after Luke & Leia's birth. I know both her and Luke have the Force, but Luke (who's more trained in the Force) couldn't remember their mother. Perhaps Leia was thinking of her step-mother (Mrs. Organa). This should be added to the article (not sure how). GoodDay 20:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
In the original Revenge of the Sith script, Amidala DID raise Leia while Luke was on Tatooine. This is because she didn't die in the original. I guess they changed it to be more dramatic. Like it wasn't enough already! Son of Jadoja 12:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Just curious why we're bothering to mention this as a "plot hole". Jedi are often known to be able to use the Force to enhance their memory. Leia has alot of Force potential. AND she never did say that she remembers her mother. She simply states that she remembers her mothers negative emotions at the time of her birth. She never stated that she remembered being born or her mother. Anyways, I just fail to see how this is a plothole.

Allrighty. I was re-reading it prior to looking back here, and I was going to correct myself. I agree, it is a plot hole. It might be able to be covered, if anyone could get Lucas to say that Leia used the Force :) WPinky ( talk) 05:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't a plot hole. In the novel Revenge of the Sith, and in The Life and Times of Leia Skywalker (brand new by the way, I pre-ordered so I don't expect you to have heard of it), Leia's eyes were open when Obi-Wan presented her to Padmé. Luke, on the contrary, had his eyes shut tight, so he didn't see a darn thing. Now, Obi-Wan saying that Yoda trained him in The Empire Strikes Back but having Qui-Gon train him in The Phantom Menace. Now THAT'S a plot hole. Gnmng Jreck
Not necessarily. Yoda trained younglings, and therfore must have trained Obi-Wan prior to Qui Gon. On another note regarding Leia remembering her mother. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall the novelization of ROTJ had Leia remembering she and he mother running in fear and Leia being hidden in a tree. Though that novel also stated Owen Lars was Obi-Wan's brother, and Vader didn't know Padme' was pregnant before Obi-Wan hid her away to protect her. I like these plot points better than the eventual back story.
As a non native speaker I don't understand what is meant by that. Can someone help me, and, would it be relevant to add that information directly into the article? thanks.

Have anyone thought, "slave Leia" wasn't in Luke's masterplan of saving Han Solo? It happened because Leia failed to escape with Han. She was caught with Han & without wearing her mask, so Jabba knew, the bounty hunter was a female human. So, what was Luke's real plan? After his friends came one by one to Jabba's palace, then he came alone. Was he trying to beat Jabba & his allies in the palace, not on the sail barge, like in the movie? I just wanna know..

Why is this listed as one of her titles? There is no source, either in the films or the EU, that lists her as that- and since "Queen" is an elected title on Naboo, there's no reason to assume that the daughter of a Queen would be considered a "Princess."

As it is, there are only three reliable sources that are actually accessible. Two other clean up tags, each dated about two and a half years ago, assert that their respective sections lack references, while one of the main cleanup tags assert that the content is written in an in-universe fashion.

I thought Leia's first kiss was Luke, or was that in Return of the Jedi? To be honest I think that the way the 'first kiss' passage is phrased is a perfect example of the overarching problem with this article - that it's far too casual. The article gives a complete summary of the films from Leia's perspective. I'm not sure that chronicling every one of Leia's appearances is the best way to describe her character. If it is, then they should be far more succinct and far less informal. David ovic 05:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Is there any way that we could change the article's name to "Leia Organa Solo"? This would be a good idea, since Wookieepedia's article on her has the same name as I suggested. She currently (as far as continuity goes) goes by names such as Leia Solo, and even "Jedi Solo". I'm not saying we need to change her name to those names, I'm just suggesting a simple, Leia Organa Solo. Without the "princess" title.-- Jedi Kasra ( talk) 05:44, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I think Carrie Fisher needs to be in the lede or at least intro (before table of contents). She is so iconically associated with the role. When people picture Princess Leia, they don't envision the baby in Episode III or fan fiction drawings. I added it once and it was undone. I would like to say that Leia was portrayed by Carrie Fisher in four of the seven films spanning three decades.

It seems to me that the current article mixes up the description of the character with the character's critical reception. For example, the first sentence in the "Character" section is: 'Princess Leia has been called a 1980s icon,[1] a feminist hero[2] and even "the toughest woman in the galaxy".[3]' The fictional character of Leia, in the Star Wars universe, is not a 1980s icon. She probably isn't a feminist hero in the Star Wars universe either, but I don't know - maybe in some expanded universe story she is.
This section should tell us what kind of character she is, not what critics think of her. Right? Popcornduff ( talk) 05:51, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
According to the Sunday, December 6, 2015 LA Times article, "'Star Wars': The Women Blasting Bounderies", the 2015 film reintroduces Leia as a general "very much in command" who is no longer a princess. Should the article be renamed and updated to reflect that she was a princess, past-tense? -- Samantha Ireland ( talk) 05:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
How many chidren do Leaia and Han have? There appears to be a discrepancy here. Is Han Solo killed by his son, who has gone to the dark side, or what? I will explain tomorrow, bur I really would like to know who the Organa-Solo children are. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:31, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No move. While a number of oppose !votes really made no argument and were thus given little consideration, it's pretty clear that there's consensus against the move at present. It will be worth revisiting the subject in the future as more sources (and films) come out that refer to the character as other than "Princess". Cúchullain t/ c 22:38, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
Princess Leia →
Leia – "Leia" currently redirects here. And she is no longer a princess (as seen in
The Force Awakens, which is canon).

I disagree with listing Ingvild Deila in the infobox for portraying the character in Rogue One. It was a brief cameo and Carrie Fisher's face and voice was used. Deila was no more than a stand in or stunt actor. This seems to be a case of WP:UNDUE. If nobody objects, I'm going to remove her. JDDJS ( talk) 15:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm also all for removing the baby as well. If more editors don't get involved in this discussion, I'll start a request for comment. I just think that it's really a case of WP:UNDUE to list her in the infobox. JDDJS ( talk) 21:42, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
Kathleen Kennedy apparently said that Carrie Fisher would not appear in Episode 9. Well, this article isn't on Carrie Fisher, it's on Princess Leia. Unless she states the role will not be recast, there shouldn't be anything indicating that Princess Leia won't appear in episode 9, just that Carrie Fisher won't.

It's clearly crazy to have such a lengthy article for a FICTIONAL character when we can't keep a page up on REAL people who do prominent things. There is an incredible amount of disproportionate significance given to FICTIONAL CHARACTERS on Wikipedia. I would encourage active editors to work on editing down (deleting) such unnecessary information. Tleeditor ( talk) 17:10, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
The last paragraph of "Creation and casting" has nothing to do with the creation or casting of the character. It definitely belongs in the article, but I'm torn between (a) moving it out to its own section (which could be expanded with thorough analysis of its use in the films, assuming sources for such exist) and (b) creating a subsection at the end of "Creation and casting" called, say, "Music" and renaming the main section to something generix like "Concept".

Can someone please update the template picture with a Force Awakens/Last Jedi one, since that is the most recent official image of her? -- 104.174.104.148 ( talk) 03:42, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
On Wookieepedia, it states that Leia's birth name was "Leia Amidala Skywalker;" of course, this was originally just in Legends, but I did a little bit of digging, and there is a source in the current Star Wars canon that lists her birth name as Leia Amidala Skywalker: the 2016 edition of the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded by Pablo Hidalgo. On page 20, the page about Bail Organa, there's a caption that reads "Bail and his wife, Breha, adopt Leia Amidala Skywalker." I've provided a link to the page on Google Books below. With that in mind, should her birth name be added to this article? Perhaps underneath her full name in the table? Just a thought. May the Force be with you.
