But the moment is short-lived, because General Leia has a war to win and inherited Force powers at her disposal. The dramatic shoulders of her formidable cape almost look like angel wings as Leia summons the Force and propels herself to the relative safety of her ship, before spending much of the film in a coma.
Leia was kept alive because dying in space would've cut her story short: By dying in space, she is locked out of reuniting with Ben in any capacity. She wouldn't be able to pass the leadership torch to Poe (which is his character arc in The Last Jedi).
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.
How did Carrie Fisher portray Leia Organa in Star Wars Episode VIII and IX when she was no longer living? She was still alive when they were filming The Last Jedi. In the rise of Skywalker they will use unused footage from The Force Awakens and the Last Jedi, to have her in the film.
She used her innate force powers. It was called the Mary Poppins force power. Supposedly Leia tapped into her force power almost out of instinct and that force instinct protected her in the vacuum of space and amazingly she didn't implode.
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.
Eventually, Skywalker went into exile on Ahch-To and took the saber with him, storing it inside his hut. After Skywalker's death his Force spirit gave Organa's lightsaber to Rey, as he believed Organa would want the Jedi Padawan, of whom she had picked up training herself, to have her weapon.
While in the Ewok village, Luke revealed his true lineage to Leia. She was shocked to discover they were brother and sister, though deep down, she always knew this to be true.
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.
For all we know, Leia specifically channeled her own life force into Ben, helping Rey along and sacrificing herself in the process. That may be why Leia finally dies and fades away at the moment Ben revives Rey and fades away himself. When Ben dies, any tether Leia still had to the living world went with him.
When she's revived they briefly share an awkward kiss, and he vanishes. 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.
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.
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.
Answer "Bring him home." Leia and Han have a complicated relationship. At one point, she tells him, “No matter how much we fought, I've always hated watching you leave.” But it's her final words to Han that are heartbreaking: “If you see our son, bring him home.”
Darth Vader may have never known Princess Leia was his daughter in Star Wars and never cultivated a relationship with her, even when he was a Force ghost. Anakin Skywalker never knew Padmé was pregnant with twins, and he believed his child had died with his wife.
She replies, "Myself," to which Luke says, "Because you're a Palpatine. Leia knew it, too" This realization takes Rey by surprise, as there had been few hints about her heritage up to that point.
Why Did Rey Bury the Lightsabers? Since Luke and Leia, her masters, have become one with the Force, this is her way of honoring them by putting their weapons to rest. It also shows that Rey is burying the past while carrying it with her — both in her spirit and in the lightsaber she now wields.
Despite being enemies, Rey and Kylo Ren share a connection called a 'Force dyad' and eventually become romantically involved with one another. Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage.
The weapon had a kyber crystal at its heart, and emitted a yellow-colored plasma blade when ignited. The emitter matrix on Rey's weapon featured a rotating gear-like mechanism, which caused the emitter of the lightsaber to open up and allow the plasma blade through.
Darth Vader acts like he doesn't even know C-3PO or R2D2. They were with him since he was a child. He did everything he could to forget his past. Also, his plating had been replaced many times, and protocol droids all look very similar.
