"The Princess Leia Diaries" is a short comic written by Jason Hall that appeared in Star Wars Tales 11 and was collected in Star Wars Tales Volume 3.
Plot summary[]
Using excerpts from her diary, the story follows the experiences of Princess Leia Organa as a young girl as she grows up in a high class society. It gives an insight to her rebellious nature and how her relationship with her adopted father, Prince Bail, sets her on the path against the Galactic Empire. It begins when she is ten years old where she complains about not being able to be herself. It continues through her young life where she exhibits all her funny pranks. The story continues to the point where she becomes the senator of Alderaan.
Continuity[]
The incident where Leia drops a water balloon on Tarkin's head is referred to in Jason Hall's later Star Wars Tales story "The Other."
Though not identified in the comic itself, the redhead in Tarkin's airspeeder was identified as Natasi Daala on TheForce.net forums.[3]

- ↑ "The Princess Leia Diaries" begins Approx. ten years after the birth of Leia Organa, and ends during her ascension to the Imperial Senate, which Children of the Jedi dates to Approx. 18 years after her birth. According to The New Essential Chronology, Organa's birth occurred in 19 BBY, ten years before 9 BBY and 18 years before 1 BBY. Therefore, "The Princess Leia Diaries" spans the period between these two years.
