Star Wars has captivated generations since 1977, and the release of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi will be no different.

  • Princess Leia’s birth name is Leia Amidala Skywalker. She was adopted shortly after her birth on Polis Massa by Senator Bail Organa, and also took his last name and became the Princess of Alderaan.
  • Despite calling for his help, and both her adoptive and biological fathers having known him very well, Leia never actually gets to meet Obi-Wan Kenobi. The closest she comes is when she’s being rescued from the Death Star; however, Kenobi dies before he can board the ship as well.
  • Leia is one of 18 Star Wars characters to have their own theme song, composed by John Williams. It’s called “Princess Leia’s Theme” and represented by the musical leitmotif method used in Star Wars. The song also has its own concert suite.
  • Leia appears in seven Star Wars films – in Episode III only as an infant – and has the final line in three of them: “Rogue One,” “The Force Awakens,” and “Return of the Jedi.” She has more final lines than any other Star Wars character.
  • When Leia was captured by Darth Vader after leaving Scarif with the Death Star plans, she was scheduled for execution and held in Detention Block AA-23, Cell 2187, the same number as Finn’s Stormtrooper designation in “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.” Finn was known as FN-2187.
