Her adoptive parents could not have children of their own, so Leia became the crown princess, and, as such, was formally referred to as "the Princess Leia Organa, of the Royal House of Alderaan." Although the Organas were not trying to hide the fact that Leia was adopted, they never informed the Princess of her ...
An address to the New Republic Senate from Leia Organa was a text written by Leia Organa, former senator of the New Republic and leader of the Resistance, as a preface to the Grace Report.
Princess Leia Organa was one of the greatest leaders of the Rebel Alliance, fearless on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the Empire's tyranny. Daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, sister of Luke Skywalker, and with a soft spot for scoundrels, Leia ranked among the galaxy's great heroes.
At the age of 14, Leia began working for her father, Bail Organa, as a junior legislator in the Imperial Senate. Before she turned 19, Leia took over for Bail as Alderaan's elected representative, making her the youngest-ever senator in the Senate's history.
In Disney's canon, Mon Mothma takes the role of Chancellor of the New Republic after Leia disagrees with her over disarming the New Republic's military. But in Lucas' sequels, Leia would become the Supreme Chancellor and then have to deal with the power vacuum left by the Empire after Palpatine's defeat.
The princess was raised as the daughter of Senator Bail Prestor Organa and his wife, Queen Breha Organa, making her the heir to the Alderaanian monarchy.
There is a deleted scene from The Empire Strikes Back that makes the kiss between twins Leia and Luke even more uncomfortable due to their now-known relationship as biological brother and sister. In an alternate version of the scene featured in the movie, Leia is remarkably more affectionate toward her brother.
Rey is Han Solo's daughter. But she is not Leia Organa's daughter--and therefore is not a Skywalker. Leia and Han were estranged when she began training with Luke.
The son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, Ben Solo was seduced by the dark side of the Force and renamed himself Kylo Ren: leader of the Knights of Ren, champion of the First Order, and apprentice to Supreme Leader Snoke.
Although Solo was the last of the Skywalker bloodline, Rey assumed the name "Skywalker" to honor their memory, repudiating her own heritage as a Palpatine.
During this time, Senator Leia Organa formed her own private military force, the Resistance, due to the Senate's unwillingness to take action against the First Order and risk provoking another galactic war.
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. Rey wields Leia's lightsaber on Exegol.
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.
She wore many titles over the years, but she's best known as Princess Leia from Alderaan. This may be confusing to some as the character was explicitly revealed to be the Senator from Alderaan. She was the youngest senator elected from Alderaan and replaced her adopted father, Bail Organa.
Though the Alliance won its first major victory of the Galactic Civil War at Scarif, Organa and his wife were killed when the Death Star, an Imperial planet-killing superweapon, destroyed Alderaan just days later.
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.
Summary. 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.
Over two dozen actresses reportedly auditioned for the role including Glenn Close, Farrah Fawcett, Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek, Sigourney Weaver, Lalla Ward, Cybill Shepherd, Anjelica Huston, Kim Basinger, Terri Nunn, Cindy Williams, Kathleen Turner and Geena Davis.
In Part III, Leia revealed her knowledge about the adoption, only that she didn't know about her birth, which explained her unsurprised response when Luke told her that they were brother and sister in Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi also provided an explanation about how Leia gradually "lost" her Skywalker heritage.
