Who HQ brings you the stories behind the most beloved characters of our time. The Force is strong in Leia Organa of Alderaan--a rebel princess who fights to save the people she loves. If you're a fan of all things Star Wars, then this is the book you're looking for! From the moment audiences are introduced to Leia in the first Star Wars movie, it's clear she is not your typical princess. Leia is a brave warrior, a spy, and a diplomat. Throughout the series, she has fought on the side of good, even after seeing her home planet destroyed or being captured by a slimy, evil space alien. But how did this character become so beloved and seen as a model for other adventure heroines? Author Brandon T. Snider gives readers the scoop on Leia's background, her true parentage, her mastery of the Force, her friends and foes, and her legacy.
Explore the beginning of Leia's participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...
YOUR WORSHIPFULNESS is the story of how a teenage Carrie Fisher created Star Wars's greatest character, Princess Leia. Leia began as little more than a damsel in distress, albeit one with cinema's most iconic hairstyle. Over three films, Carrie made her a complicated character, beloved the world over. Then Darth Vader died, the Ewoks danced, the credits rolled, and that was that. Carrie now had the rest of her life to live, stuck in Leia’s shadow. What do you after the whole world has seen you duct-taped into a metal bikini? Worse, what can you do when the secrets you’ve tried to hide about your inner life won’t stay hidden? When you can’t control the thoughts in your head? YOUR WORSHIPFULNESS has everything: money, sex, love, power, and romance. It’s a story of addiction and mental illness, of recovery and fame, of friendship and motherhood, trying to be your best when you can only remember the worst.
While on an intelligence mission for the rebels, Han Solo and Princess Leia become entangled in the kidnapping and ransom of Princess Mi, and are soon pursued by bounty hunters as well as the evil Empire.
