The Untold Truth Of Princess Leia

There are many iconic characters in movies but few of them come close to the impact Princess Leia has had on popular culture. Her cinnamon bun hairstyle and signature look in the Star Wars film franchise didn’t just become fashion statements but made her a cultural fixture.

Her trademark looks have made appearances on hit TV shows like Friends, That 70s Show, and 30 Rock. In October when it's time for Halloween, you can be sure to see a few Princess Leias walking around and trick or treating.

But besides being a cultural icon, what is the true story and history of this beloved character? Here is the untold truth of Princess Leia.

It's beyond sad that the death of Carrie was probably the reason for her mother's death. If I was in that family, I would be traumatized. Rest in Power.

[MasutaMJ]

The first female icon I have ever witnessed in cinema. Rest in Peace

People are pissed at Leia kissing Luke, yet have no problem with game of thrones

We will all miss Carrie Fisher, whether we love her from Star Wars, Family Guy, 30 Rock, or many of her other works in both acting and voice work. She has always been a true professional and an inspiration to those in her life. She was probably many boys first crush, she was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed, remembered and loved for generations. May the force be with you Carrie.

R.I.P. Carrie Fisher

You were a young girls role model. May the Force be with you.

Lucas should not have given Star Wars To Disney

[noxlade]

The universe will never be the same. Rest in Peace.

Princess Leia. A woman of strength, courage, meekness and elegance. What young girls aspire to be.

Harrison, Carrie, The Rolling Stones and the Pythons now that`s a party

[johnroscoe]

"Women in space wouldn't wear underwear for fear of being strangled in zero-g situations." If you ever needed more proof that Lucas is socially awkward and living in his own universe, there it is.

If these truths are untold, how does Looper know about it?

[ryaaaaaaaaaaan]

He said there was “no age limit on becoming a jedi knight” but the jedi council turned down anakin because he was just a little bit too old

[bogusmogus]

The scene where Leia wraps the chain around Jabbas neck and 'kills' him is such sublime Sado-masochisim in that slave outfit.
One of my favorite scenes in all the films. -I really dont know how Lucas got away with it

[caitlinjohnston]

This legit makes cry. She was the greatest actress ever!!! Star Wars will try to continue without her, but it will never be the same again. I miss her so much!!! She was my first real icon. I suppose that we can be thankful that she was able to bring this amazing character to the big screen for us. We love you, Carrie Fisher!!!! Always have always will. "May The force be with you." Wherever you may be. 😭😢💔💔🖤😭😭😭

[hanneshauptmann]

I saw that bikini in real life.
My life is complete.

[Sephivoiceactor]

She DID become a Jedi in the EU. Disney is the ONLY reason she's not a jedi anymore!

[Jesse]

I felt a great disturbance in the force. Oh wait it's my emotions. The pain of knowing Carrie Fisher is still gone. Damn you 2016!

[kuroch.]

We still remember her and we always will. May the force always be with you Carrie Fisher.

[Simon]

Stop reminding me Carrie Fisher is dead!!!! :(
