Sadly, any female character who stands up for herself gets the B-word label. True then, true now. I never wanted to be a princess when I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy. Leia combined the best of both - I *so* wanted her gig! And to travel the galaxy with those particular sidekicks.... yeah. Sign me up.

I have high hopes for the new movie- so glad she gets to portray her again.
