I miss her. True female leader.

My favorite Disney Princess!

I read somewhere that Leia is more like Anakin than Luke ever was and i'm really seeing it more and more i think about it.

What are those last 3? They look like they say star wars but that can't be right

The correct image for Episode VI was selected.
KungFuTreacheryQ
Love her. Got this earlier this year.
allbluesnoclues
She really Carried that franchise!
sharikov
Fixed it. Sure hope they finally make an Episode IX someday.
LizardEnterprises
Fixed it. Glad they never handed the franchise over to JJ Abhrams. Star Wars should belong to storytellers.

You're fighting the good fight.
and not VFX horn-dogs who think 'Setup and Payoff' are alternate names for the budgeting department.
sherlockhooves
Found her designe in Rebels so odd. She's suppose to be the same age as Ezra
Imadethisaccounttopost
I really feel she should NOT be in Kenobi. The way she spoke to Kenobi in her message, it was obvious they never met, because she had to
not only introduce herself, but how she knew him.
PyroAvok
She only knows him as Ben though, right?
I put the dialogue in my original posting from Episode 4. I don't have Disney + so I've not seen Obiwan.
You're critiquing a series you haven't seen?
General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.
I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to
bring you to Alderaan has fail. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit.
My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour.
Someshithead241
Tbh, I don't like how her character is written in Kenobi. But then again, it seems like that's a thing that's effected all the characters.
They all seem so... off. Not themselves, and also often contradicting themselves. Like Leia's intelligence coming and going when the plot
Requires it or when the writer wants to attempt a "slam" of another character. Let's not even approach the mess that is Reva. Can't wait for
That shitty attempt at a redemption that will be completely unearned.
coronakilla
I may be in the minority but i was HOPING vader would count dooku Reva. She is such a shit character
I was hoping that too. I knew he wouldn't, but I was really hoping It. Instead he stabs her, which she has already survived, as well as
orbitn
I'd have force-punted her ass back to her family directly within 5 minutes of meeting her GOD she was so annoying in that chase scene
isnogudk63
Ahh what ever. To be honest, i miss carrie fisher.
PixelSprite64
You forgot the anime
himisti
Nah, it's ok to forget anime
terronium12
There's an anime!? And it looks like that? I need to see this.
4vie
There's at least one manga out there... the one I'm thinking of was.... pretty "meh".
Can you call yourself a starwars fan if you've never watched it in the original japanese?
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
No, it's just a bunch of animated trailers for Star Wars more or less called Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures.
That's disappointing. Is it still worth watching?
I mean they're kinda cool-ish? I like Kylo Ren's where they confirm his hair gets suctioned into his helmet. (It was poorly timed sound 1/
effects but I like to joke about it.) People made anime intros of it, which is pretty great. 2/2
Oh god, I just re-read and realized you said animated trailers. That's even more disappointing.
Voojagig
You left out the creepy CGI fake from Rogue One.
NachoIskerka
...I mean, I didnt find it that creepy. But i grew up having seen the Tupac hologram; by contrast this shit was so much better looking.
darthstormer
To be fair, that was Episode 4 minus 45 minutes. Let's remember her the better way.
MadCat221
I got a kick out of how that movie made Leia's lie to Vader's face even more brazen.
PlaceHolderTitle
Explains why that is literally one of the only times we see Vader yell just "I JUST SAW YOU RUNNING AWAY WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING!"
InfocalypseRising
"we're on a diplomatic mission" "I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM SCARIF"
Zreen
"DO YOU KNOW HOW COMMON ALDERAAN TANTIVE TYPE AMBASSADOR SHIPS ARE??"
MithridateEupator
"fake" like half of these aren't Carrie Fischer anyway
1/3 whatever
Yea, the rest aren't being enhanced to attempt to seem like Carrie Fischer. Clearly the Rebels one wasn't trying to look like her at all.
None of them are trying to look like Carrie Fischer. They're trying to look like Leia, who looks, Surprise!, exactly like Carrie Fischer.
KingXizor
Gotta say, my favorite Leia was the pissed-off Leia reconnecting with Han in The New Jedi Order and saying fuck you to Borsk and his Gov't.
lorcan0c
I'd recommend checking out "Blood Lines" then, it's real good as far as Leia and Post-OT politics.
I appreciate the recommendation, but i steer clear of any disney universe stuff
MisterRichard
Boy that Rebels version really... Can see both sides of the issues
Racealistic

blainetog
Rebels has spectacular storytelling and characters. Didn't always totally nail the animation, especially in the first two seasons.
BobHubert
Definitely got better in the 3rd, all around
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Leia from Didney Worl...?
C110PR
That's a terrible frame. Her episode is actually really great.
Jewdakris
Remember how she always used to mention the time Kenobi saved her, no, as if it didn't happen
QueenofFerelden
Maybe they were modeling her after the Christmas Special. lol
AntRam95

Was it "Good, good, good, good"?
Yeeeah, that was from a scene that they didn't quite do eyetracking on her model that well.

SecondToNine
I'm not a Star Wars but even I can tell it's a fucking stupid scene
VibratingNipples
They broke Star Wars with that bullshit. That hyperspace bs
And still people will still go see the new movies
This alone didn't break starwars, but the combination of it all did.
Now we got nut jobs saying why didn’t they do this with the Death Star and so on.
ClutteredDesk
Pretty sure that's what the orbital shield was for in Episode 6.
Not to forget that the shields was up on that ship as well.
CommanderShitFace
It's like when in halo tech they activate a small ships warp space portal to send the center of a larger ship through and not the ends.
Y'all can open hyper space portals just do that shit instead of nukes and missiles or MAC guns
NopeTheSkelly
Reach spoke on This about that drive being super expensive. They had to beg for it from Holland. He reluctantly agreed.
You know it's kind of a shame they haven't exploited the opertunity to play as George in a game. He went *somewhere* from that jump.
swedeonamoose
Tbf the old canon was also full of really dumb shit.
Anyone who’s read shit like “The Crystal Star” and “Children of the Jedi” can readily attest.
Bezaid
Yeah, like sentient organic gravity generators that could crash a moon into a planet, or a ship that could blow up a star.
AdrianDunne
They crashed a moon into a planet?
Yeah, I think the series was called New Jedi Order, but this weird organic race from outside the galaxy came in & crashed a moon on a planet
For the record, I loved the books, and those ridiculous concepts still made for compelling reading.
That being said.... FFUCK crystal star
and people died due to actual stakes and not just "okay this happens now"
Housemaster
Here's how I'd have fixed it: At the begining of the film, show a failed hyperjump from one of the resistance transports as it panics and...
... jumps unknowingly into a Star Destroyer with its shield completely obliterating the transport. Fast forward to the chase; Snoke's big...
... scary triangle diverts power from shields to fire at longer distances at their fleet. Bing bang boom, vroom vroom.
that would require planning out the story though
"Ok, if hyperdrives could do that, why don't they make hyperdrive missiles to do the same, but more cheaply and reliably?"
modus0
I imagine for non escalation reasons. Kind of hard to have a civiliation, or rule one, if every planet has been hyperspace missile wrecked.
This was Kreia's reasoning with Revan vs Malak: Revan preserved infrastructure, Malak just decimated
positiveleroy
They did, in Legends. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy_Gun
Look how big that Mofo is
"Somehow, Palpatine returned!" But yeah, it's this that broke Star Wars, a space opera with space wizards.
TheCroaker
This happened in the movie before it
thedudeman519
"This is fantasy therefore there is no logic or internal consistency needed!"
RaZorHamZteR
Erm... yes. Bad script/ story telling is one thing. If the hyperspace BS was correct, space battles would be diffrent in all of SW history.
TheSecondPiewackit
I did a whole thing on how the Holdo Maneuver would be a war crime that would devastate half the galaxy if used regularly.
tbf I doubt the star wars universe has an equivalent of what we consider war crimes so it probably would be permitted
Basically imagine how paint flecks affect our own satellites, and then realize that you just created quintillions at superluminal speeds.
vizeroy42
Palpatine also returned in the EU book series "The dark empire". The original Thrawn books had Palpatine clone plans as well
tzahtman
Oddly enough how a thing is done can be pretty important to how people feel about it. The sequels handled it poorly.
ollikahn
but the line "SOMEHOW Palpatine returned" is dumb and just a lazy writing
I agree, but it's very far from the dumbest imo
To be fair, It absolutely is! as it unintentionally points out a major flaw with the plot.
Anyone who uses the phrase "space wizards" as an excuse for Canon/rule breaking stuff, is a moron who does not understand the concept
Bro, she has the force, we get it. But she has had NO training. It was never hinted at before this point in the movie. This is bad writing.
You cannot have someone pull a Deus Ex Machina without at least hinting at it.
Of suspension of disbelief nor do they understand that just because its fantasy or has a silly sounding concept when simplified down so
Heavily, doesnt mean that you can just have fucking anything happen in it and it be okay.
