Cell 2187



Cell 2187 was Princess Leia Organa's cell on the original Death Star. Found in Detention Block AA-23, Organa was held here after she was captured by Darth Vader and tortured by an interrogation droid. Following the destruction of Alderaan, she was scheduled to be executed, but Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca effected a daring rescue.
