Talk:Leia Organa Solo

Sources Not Yet Covered
Leia is going to be a tough article because she is involved in every major plotline. Anyone with the guide to characters could setup a good structure for the article, and then we should list character developments and major actions/adventures that have yet to be covered and the source they originate from. --SparqMan 15:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Origins secret
"Organa's relationship to Darth Vader was kept secret; publicly, she remained known as the biological heir to Bail Organa, and thus the Royal House of Alderaan." In the NR era? Vader was known to be Luke's father, and Leia known to be Luke's sister. 1+1=2. Am I missing something? --SparqMan 12:07, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps there is an assumption that Luke and Leia are half-siblings? I don't know - haven't read much post-ROTJ EU. QuentinGeorge 12:20, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * It may just be out of place and intended for the pre-GCW section. Pretty sure that after ROTJ, everyone knew. --SparqMan 13:28, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Could be that they just never publicly revealed that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were the same person. I can understand why you might not want it revealed your father was a mass murderer. --User:SFH

About the infant used to portray the Skywalker twins in Ep. III
Changed the following paragraph, adding information about the previously unidentified infant. The source for this information is the e-book from StarWars.com: http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/publishing/img/thefinalchapter.pdf

Leia was played by actress Carrie Fisher in the Original Trilogy, as well as by Aiden Barton (editor Roger Barton's son) as an infant in Revenge of the Sith. Leia was also played by Ann Sachs in the 1980s radio drama.

Age
Leia is really 18 in Episode IV, A New Hope, even that Revenge of the Sith is 19 bby, the story of Episode III could had been one year long. I'm glad you asked. I remember when hasbro came out with the Star Wars Triaba Game for Episode IV, V and VI. One question was how old was Luke when he first meet Obi-Wan. It said that the answer was 18. Also I got a game from Toys R Us called Top Thumb, and it had cards for alot of Star Wars Charaters. On the bottom it told what there age was from the movie we last seen them in (In the order of I, II, IV, V, VI, this was one year before Episode III came out). For Luke and Leia, it said 22, and since they were last seen in Return of the Jedi (which is 4 ABY) it means they were 18 in A New Hope. (UTC)
 * And what do you base that on? MarcK 19:17, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * So? The actual movie has more credit than these cards, and the movie happened in 19 BBY. Luke and Leia were born in the movie. Two and two make four. Demented Smiloid 20:09, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Those cards are superseded by the movie. As a note, the ANH novel says Luke is 20 and Leia is 18. Movie always trumps EU. Luke and Leia are 19 in ANH. No argument. QuentinGeorge 21:43, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I agree that they are 19 in ANH, but I was just wondering. Where they 19 years old since it was released in 1977, or were they 18 and just before ROTS came out, did Lucas decided to make them a year older for some reason?
 * The were listed as born 18 years before ANH in the The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, so I guess it wasn't changed until before Episode 3, like you said. I guess he didn't want to have the Clone Wars drag on for another year. If anyone really wants to retcon it, maybe they could say that they're 19 during film #4, but they were born 18 years before A New Hope. According to Star Wars Timeline Gold, the early chapters of the radio drama take place before the film itself, but are still part of A New Hope.-LtNOWIS 00:18, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * In early EU Luke and Leia were 20 in ANH (see ANH novelisation), the "18" age was something that came later on. QuentinGeorge 00:22, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I don't want to be a pest, but I got another question, How many days were there from the Battle of Coruscant to the birth of Luke and Leia, were these two events days apart or months apart.
