Luke isn't the only hero in the star wars universe. From the royal family of Alderaan Princess Leia blast her way in to the star wars film trilogy. she is the main female character, and like other movies they try there best to make her seem strong and attractive. This is a common tactic, used to attract female viewers in a male centered movie. This tactic can work well if used it right. In the movie she is a princess to a peaceful planet. She is also part of the rebel alliance and is capture by the evil Darth Vader. Leia is somewhat the damsel in distress of the film but thats not all to her. She faces torturous interrogation and the destruction of her own planet with out giving up the location. Thats not all, she also has skills with a blaster and is not afraid to use one. As well as the princess, she is also a strong diplomat for her home planet of Alderaan. George Lucas defiantly tried his best to create an attractive, smart, and strong charter that adds a lot to the story.
