In a quiet moment, the smuggler and the Princess finally kissed - only to be interrupted by C-3PO, who was excited to inform them that he’d isolated the ship’s reverse power flux coupling. It worked, and Han docked his ship inside a cave within one of the larger rock masses. Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and C-3PO evaded the Empire by heading into an asteroid field - a dangerous move that only the daring captain of the Millennium Falcon would attempt. After the Empire discovered their location, Leia oversaw the Alliance’s evacuation and was forced to leave with Han aboard the Millennium Falcon. “You stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!” she called him in a heated exchange.
Leia remained a key figure in the fight for freedom, and her feelings for Han had developed - though he could still drive her crazy. Han, Chewie, and Luke returned to the base where Leia warmly greeted them, and later presented them medals for their bravery.Īfter the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance relocated to Hoth, a remote ice world. As the Death Star readied to destroy to Yavin 4 and the Rebel Alliance with it, Han saved Luke by blasting the TIE fighters trailing his X-wing Luke fired a proton torpedo into the Death Star’s exhaust port, destroying the planet-sized terror. The attack began, with Luke piloting an X-wing, Leia monitoring in the command center, and Han long gone. Meanwhile, having successfully tracked the Falcon to Yavin 4, the Death Star closed in. Luke and Leia were disappointed in Han’s decision, but carried on. As the Rebels prepped their attack on the space station, Han and Chewie collected their reward for saving the Princess and were readying to leave. Leia and her rescuers rendezvoused with the Alliance on Yavin 4, where she delivered the Death Star plans. They escaped, but little did they know that Vader had placed a tracking device on their ship. The group made their way back to Han’s ship, the Millennium Falcon, though Obi-Wan Kenobi fell in battle to Darth Vader. When the walls of the compactor began to close in, all seemed lost until R2-D2 was able to remotely shut them down. Han and Leia immediately clashed, with the Princess having little patience for his bravado. But by this time, stormtroopers had found the ragtag group, and Han, Chewie, Luke, and Leia were forced to jump into a trash compactor to hide. Taking off his helmet, Luke introduced himself and the two quickly left. “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?” she asked. Luke reached Leia’s cell first, dressed in disguise as one of the Empire’s foot soldiers. Obi-Wan arrived on the Death Star with Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the two droids to rescue her. As it turns out, the message she hid inside R2-D2 was delivered on Tatooine to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master and a general in the Clone Wars who knew her father. Her situation seemingly dire, events would soon unfold that would change Leia’s fate and that of the galaxy.
But the Rebels still had time - the Dantooine base had been abandoned long ago, which Leia knew, and the Alliance really resided on Yavin 4. The Princess protested, but Tarkin and Vader would not listen. Reluctantly, Leia confessed that it was Dantooine Tarkin nefariously continued with the attack, looking to display the Death Star’s might. Tarkin, however, found another form of persuasion: he would threaten to destroy her home planet of Alderaan unless she divulged the whereabouts of the base.
As such, Vader used an interrogation droid to try and extract the information, but Leia was able to resist.
They sought to recover the stolen data tapes and uncover the location of the hidden Rebel base, though they knew Leia would never give up its location voluntarily. Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin, one of the Empire’s highest ranking officers, held Leia prisoner on the Death Star. Leia, however, was captured by stormtroopers and confronted by Vader, who didn’t believe her claim that the ship was on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan. Her ship was boarded by Darth Vader and Imperial forces, but she managed to hide the schematics and a message in the droid R2-D2, who escaped alongside his counterpart C-3PO. While Leia was a member of the Imperial Senate, she was also one of the Rebel Alliance’s most dedicated leaders. Aboard her ambassadorial vessel, Tantive IV, Princess Leia Organa was custodian of stolen plans to the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon.
