The human body isn't designed to survive for long in such an icy, low pressure environment, and most people would have been dead by that point. But Leia managed to instinctually reach out with the Force and cling to life just long enough to make it back to her ship.
Yet, as Leia dies, her body does not disappear like the other Jedi. It stays until the very final moments of the film, at the point of Ben Solo's death. Much like how Leia gave up her life to give Kylo Ren the chance to snap back into Ben Solo, he emulated that to give Rey a chance to survive.
The final scene from Rogue One featured a CGI recreation of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia from A New Hope. While this appearance was brief, it applies the techniques of using a body double, CG, and recycled dialogue.
Since he had fought alongside her adoptive father in the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi went to Leia's rescue on Daiyu, and, after evading the Empire's hand on Mapuzo and Jabiim, Leia was brought back to Alderaan.
Why did Darth Vader not sense Leia was his daughter?
Leia's Force abilities and her lack of awareness of her true identity also contributed to Vader's inability to sense their familial connection. Vader's denial of Anakin Skywalker's legacy and his fear of getting hurt again prevented him from realizing the truth about his children until later in the original trilogy.
Darth Vader didn't learn he had a daughter until Return of the Jedi, when he stood before Emperor Palpatine. The Emperor's power probed Luke's mind, attempting to goad him to fall to the dark side, and he discovered Leia's existence. "Sister," the Emperor taunted.
In the movie, Leia is sent hurtling into space after an attack on her ship. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Leia is able to use the Force to pull herself through space and back to the safety of the ship.
Leia kept Han's medal as a treasured memento of her dead husband. She held it before reaching out to her son, perhaps somehow connecting to Ben and Han's presence in the not-so-living Force.
Jodie Foster could have been Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" franchise. During a Jan. 17 appearance on "The Tonight Show," Foster said she was offered the iconic role when she was younger but she turned it down to star in a Disney movie. "They were going for a younger Princess Leia but I had a conflict," she said.
It seems that with his last ounce of strength, Ben gave what was remaining of his life energy to save Rey. This was his last sacrifice, effectively acting as redemption to return him to the light side of the Force. That is why his body vanished, as Jedi like Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Leia did before him.
Traditionally, yellow lightsabers are associated with Jedi Sentinels, who balance their combat skills with a strong focus on exploration and practical application of the Force. This choice reflects Rey's well-rounded training and her determination to maintain balance in the Force.
Anakin Skywalker's birth mystery is solved - his mother, Shmi Skywalker, reveals that there was no father and she can't explain what happened. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force.
Anticipating Solo's arrival, Darth Vader and Boba Fett had already forced Lando to betray Han and Princess Leia. Lando agreed to turn Han over in return for a guarantee that the Empire would leave Cloud City alone.
Leia's "memories" of Padmé could be glimpses of her mother's emotions and presence at the moment of her birth, echoing through the Force. Dreams and Visions: Leia might have experienced dreams or visions throughout her life that provided her with glimpses of her mother.
He was incredibly important, both to the galaxy as a whole and to Rey personally. While they may not have had romantic love for each other, they became close enough that Rey would miss him after his death. The kiss at the end of The Rise of Skywalker was a goodbye to a friend who would be dearly missed.
At the end of Rise of Skywalker, Rey has in her possession Luke's original lightsaber (which itself was originally Anakin's), Leia's lightsaber from her days of training with Luke, and her own newly constructed lightsaber (the yellow one with a design reminsicent of the staff she fought with in prior films).
Obi-Wan came to the Death Star to save Leia from the Empire's clutches, but was killed by Darth Vader while the others were busy escaping. Leia didn't see Obi-Wan again, nor did she experience any sadness when she learned of his death.
Leia wanted to lead and reshape the galaxy, but wielding the same power that had corrupted Vader would be too big of a temptation because she would have become a powerful Jedi. So, it was safer to choose happiness, marry Han and avoid becoming a Jedi.
After Leia's death, Poe rallied the Resistance's forces for a raid on Exegol. Though many Resistance fighters lost their lives battling the Sith, Poe's leadership – and the timely arrival of a citizens' fleet of starships – helped the Resistance destroy the Sith armada and win a great victory over the forces of evil.
Yes. In the book 'Tatooine Ghost', Leia learns of Anakin's life prior to his evolution into the Darth Vader personae. This revelation leads her to forgive him. She even named her third child in memory of her father.
Luke and Leia never sensed that they were twins until Return of the Jedi despite both being sensitive to the Force. Anakin Skywalker's twin children are the original Star Wars trilogy's driving force, having been separated after Padme's death.
