Princess Leia Organa is a fictional character from the Star Wars series, played by Carrie Fisher in the movie. Leia is the princess of the planet Alderaan, a member of the Imperial Senate, and a Rebel Alliance spy who first appeared in 1977’s Star Wars film. She foils Darth Vader’s evil schemes and aids in the destruction of the Empire’s catastrophic superweapon, the Death Star.

Leia controls a Rebel stronghold and eludes Vader while falling in love with smuggler Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back (1980). Leia is revealed to be Vader’s daughter and Luke Skywalker’s twin sister in Return of the Jedi (1983), where she assists in the mission to free Han from the criminal lord Jabba the Hutt.

The twins’ mother is Senator (and former queen) Padmé Amidala of Naboo, who dies after childbirth, and their father is none other than former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who would become Darth Vader, according to the prequel film Revenge of the Sith (2005). Senator Bail and Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan adopt Leia. Leia is the creator and General of the Resistance fighting the First Order in the sequel trilogy.

She and Han have a son called Ben Solo, who became the main enforcer for the First Order after turning to the dark side of the Force and adopting the name Kylo Ren. Leia was temporarily taught as a Jedi by her brother shortly after Return of the Jedi, according to The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Rey, the only remaining Jedi, is mentored by Leia in the film. Leia dies at the conclusion of the film, but reappears as a Force ghost beside Luke in the epilogue sequence.

Leia has been dubbed a 1980s icon, a feminist hero, and a role model for other adventurous women. She is one of the most popular Star Wars characters. She has been mentioned or parodied in a number of TV series and films, as well as in various derivative works and products, including the now-noncanonical Star Wars Expanded Universe. Her ‘cinnamon bun’ hairdo from Star Wars (1977) and Return of the Jedi’s metal bikini have become cultural icons.

For A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, Fisher received two Saturn Award nominations for Best Actress. Fisher was nominated for two Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actress, the first for The Force Awakens and the second for The Last Jedi, the latter being a posthumous nomination.

Leia was developed by George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, who detailed his early creation of the key characters in 1999:

The first featured a princess and an elderly general. The second version included a father, his son, and his daughter, with the girl serving as the film’s protagonist. The daughter has now taken on the role of Luke, played by Mark Hamill. There was also the tale of two brothers, one of whom I turned into a sister. The older brother had been imprisoned, and the younger sister was tasked with rescuing him and returning him to their father.
