Although the fandom of Star Wars not often finds unanimity over their opinions on the galaxy far, distant, all of us come collectively in our grief for Carrie Fisher and Princess Leia.
It’s an indisputable fact that Leia Organa nonetheless stays one of the iconic characters of all time and one of many pillars of George Lucas’ Unique Trilogy. Initially, Disney needed to dedicate every installment within the Sequel Trilogy to a principal character from the primary three movies to honor the franchise’s legacy. As such, The Power Awakens served as a tribute to the smuggler-turned-hero Han Solo and The Final Jedi introduced the character of Luke Skywalker full circle by having him fulfill his future as a beacon of hope for the way forward for the Resistance. Episode IX, in flip, would deal with Leia and provides her a robust function to play because the chief of the Resistance.
Regrettably, although, Carrie Fisher’s tragic passing in December 2016 modified these plans. Nonetheless, Abrams by some means managed to make the most of the unused footage from the 2 earlier films and provides Basic Leia an necessary half to play each in coaching Rey as a Jedi and serving to her son Kylo Ren redeem himself.

The emotional tribute video you see above does a fantastic job of highlighting the significance of Leia Organa within the story of the Skywalker Saga each as a pacesetter and a mentor. If Star Wars is in the end the battle between the forces of sunshine and darkness, then Leia has at all times been on the heart and forefront of the warfare in opposition to tyranny, which the video truly stresses by means of a number of transitions from all the films that she had a task in.
The journey of Leia Organa (or Skywalker, if you’ll) could have come to an finish on the massive display, however her presence will nonetheless linger on on this planet of Star Wars and if little else, we’re truly glad to see extra of her in different mediums, like Marvel’s comedian sequence.
