Episode 081 - Character Spotlight on Leia Organa: General, Princess, Mother, and Hero

This episode spotlights the character of Leia Organa from both the original and sequel trilogies as well as all media set around and in between those eras. The hosts examine Leia both in-universe as a capable, driven woman with unquestioned leadership ability and ironclad drive (while also being a princess, a sister, and eventually a wife and mother) while also acknowledging that she is the only female character with a significant speaking role in the first two Star Wars movies. We examine moments such as Leia’s introduction (where her waifish exterior turns into her pulling out a blaster on a stormtrooper) all the way towards holding together the Resistance and becoming a mentor figure to Rey. Listen today to hear our thoughts about the life, depiction, and impact of Leia Organa.

This episode contains content from, and may contain spoilers for: Episodes IV through IX, Princess of Alderaan, Star Wars (comics, 2015 and 2020 series), The Princess and the Scoundrel, Bloodline, The Aftermath Trilogy, Kenobi, and Rebels.
