So I spent last night reading an entire YA Star Wars novel because I am a huge dork.  I know, I know, I hide it well, you had no idea.  I am outing myself.  I love Star Wars.  Love it.  And the book was good, kind of like a Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead of the Star Wars universe.  Except, you know, with out the existentialism.  Or the sort of satire and comedy.  Ok, so it was superficially that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead of the Star Wars universe. Anyway, I liked it and I loved the ways it sort of brushed against the characters I loved.  One of those was Princess Leia and it was very interesting to see how others in the universe regarded her but maybe the most informative thing about her was how people reacted to Darth Vader.  Fear.  Like barely able to hold it together fear, entire bodies went cold when he was present.  Which makes sense.  But remember, Leia didn’t do this.  Instead she told him off, claiming only he could be so bold and then telling him he was the one who was going to be in trouble when the Senate found out.  A giant slug dude was a creep so she strangled him with a chain.  When I tag this and I have to categorize her what do I put?  Princess? Diplomat? Politician?  General?  Rebel?  there’s too much and she did most of that before she was 25.  It’s amazing.  Look, she’s a character I love and part of a thing I love and given what she did to the slug that objectified her I am on thin ice but today I want to fuck Princess Leia.
