I like this opportunity to see Leia in her role as leader of her people. The story was slight but enjoyable. As a fan of hers, I want more of these! ( )

This series gives us the same Leia we met in A New Hope contending with the background her adoption, which she may not know about at this point in the cannon or in the legacy universe. Her Organa upbringing is forced center stage and her Skywalker constant need for adventure is placated by her unorthodox methods of fulfilling her royal duties. ( )

After the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebels need to leave Yavin in a hurry. Princess Leia wants to be part of the action, but General Dodona, wanting to both protect her and give her time to grieve the loss of Alderaan, forbids her to get involved. So Leia recruits (commandeers) Evaan, an Alderaanian pilot who is not at all impressed by her, and goes searching for other survivors from the lost planet.

What I love about this story is that it balances the required action sequences of a Star Wars story with a focus on Princess Leia's heritage, her diplomatic strengths, and her deep love for her people and culture. This is the character I felt drawn to in Star Wars, and I wish that the saga had let her develop more along the lines of this portrayal: a leader, a diplomat, a smart, adventurous woman of principle.

A short foray into a side story in the Star Wars universe. Lovely artwork, After the destruction of Alderaan, Princess Leia searches for survivors on other worlds, to bring them together and continue their culture. This is a very short foray into the world of Leia. It would have benefitted from a longer series, like that created for Vader. The characters had potential for character arcs, but it feels cut too short. The spirit of Leia is there, but only briefly. And as usual, the spunky sidekicks save the day. In this case, R2. An interesting moment on Naboo with the artwork of her mother. Overall, I was left feeling like I wanted more and that the series had not yet hit its stride. ( )
