Princess Leia - actress Carrie Fisher

At the time of the release of the first film from the series "Star Wars" most of the performers involved there were not very well known. For example, Harrison Ford, who is also Han Solo, then made only the first steps in the movie, and world fame came to him a little later. In addition to the fantastic plot and thoughtful world, the film has another nice addition for both male and female audiences. This is Princess Leia. The actress who played it, at that time was the 19-year-old debutante of the big movie, and it was this role that became the main thing in her career.

Character Biography

It is difficult to capture the full biography and history of Princess Leah, as there is an expanded universe of "Star Wars". Adhering to the canon, it should be noted that the audience will know the truth about the parents of the heroine only in the second part. It turned out that Leia Organa bears the surname of her foster father, Bail, who was also of royal blood. But in fact, her father is Darth Vader, he's Anakin Skywalker, who switched to the dark side. And her mother, Padmé Amidala, died during childbirth. That night the twins Luke and Leia appeared, who were immediately separated for their safety. With age, the girl began to be interested in diplomatic policy, which subsequently led her to the Alliance for the restoration of the Republic. In "New Hope", Luke, Khan, droids and Chewbacca arrive on the Death Star, where Princess Leia is held captive by Vader. The actress who performed this role, after appearing on the screen immediately won the audience its beauty and staunch character.

Characteristics of the character

It is difficult not to notice both the external and internal similarities between the princess and her mother, the former queen and senator (Amidala). Actresses several times appeared in similar suits, and also wore similar hairdos, differing in their uniqueness. It is the external attributes of the heroine that evoke vivid associations, allowing instantly to understand that this is the same princess from the "Star Wars". In addition to the chic appearance, the young Leia has a lot of abilities and skills. She has a truly outstanding mind, which enabled him to assume the position of a senator on Alderaan.

She also possesses all the necessary military skills, which helps her in the fight against the Empire on the side of the insurgents. She perfectly shoots at enemies from the blaster and even manages to pilot some fighters. With all this, it perfectly keeps calm and cool even in the most extreme situations, which is clearly inherited from Padme. From it came a good military strategist, and it was she who was planning a lot of insurgent operations. Thanks to this, the Authority has managed to become an authoritative leader, and her determination gives strength to everyone else.

The actress who performed this role was much older, but together with the rest she decided to return to the shooting.

From the plot of the new film, viewers will learn that in the marriage of Leah and Han Solo, who married in the finals of the old trilogy, there are some problems. The princess now became a general and again led the militia movement. And Khan, along with Chui, wanders around the Galaxy in search of the lost "Millennial Falcon". It is also clear that the couple had a son, Ben, who followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and took the dark side. When Solo and Organa meet after a long separation, it can be seen that their feelings are still as strong.
