Lit Epic Leia

Has there been a moment, or will there ever be a moment, when we get to see Leia go into beast mode like Luke against Shimrra or Jacen against Onimi or Anakin against the Vong? If the Skywalker line is so prone to moments of "Oneness" with the Force, why haven't we seen anything like that from Leia?

 

There was one time on a fur carpet...

But seriously, no. Not really.

 

Leia vs Beldorian might qualify.

 

I thought this thread was going to be about a new Disney video game for the Nintendo Wii.

 

Leia gets to play the "kill in anger but get away with it" card more than often enough to offset any sort of rage mode.

 

I know of Kueller in The New Rebellion- what other ones are you speaking of?

If we allow for sparring rather than actual fighting, there was where she defeated Luke in the Corellia trilogy.

 

I'm talking about like "blinding pillar of light" type epicness, not just Leia winning a fight.

 

Nope. And that's why we have the Diversity Thread.

 

The Other from Star Wars Tales has a badass Leia.

 

That was what I first thought when I read the title too

 

By reputation, from what's been posted, there's her duels with Alema Rar, she's also a bit too eager for someone with inclination to be a Jedi to slash down Viqi Shesh.

 

Since this is from an actual book, the lit mods won't kill me for posting it here:

 

"Arma Leiaque cano..."

I suspect that I just repeated Jello, only I don't read classical Greek.

 

The closest I can think of is the duel with C'baoth on Wayland, when she directs Mara through the Force.

And when she kicked Aeona Cantor's butt on Mindor.

 

The time Leia nearly killed Tahiri in Inferno comes to mind.

Seriously, the Princess would have murdered her son's girlfriend if Han hasn't stopped her.

 

Yeah, I'm fine with her never having one. Also fine with there never being another one, too. The last thing we need to give the family is a hereditary one-shot Force-empowered get-out-of-jail-free card.

 

those were all great scenes. Especially how they showed her development by going from getting owned to doing the owning in the last book, considering she makes **** all development skills-wise for the last 30 years

 

Yea I was impressed with how much she kicked butt protecting Allana.

 

This is Leia's epic moment:

Pushing over a tyrant and a Sith Lord, the killer of her father and controller of the machine which destroyed her homeworld.
Getting called "Jedi scum" makes it all the better.
One of my favourite scenes of the EU.

 

Now if only the thing had less of a "vomit" colour scheme

 

I was always disappointed my Crayola Crayon set was lacking Mauvish-Green and Mud-Toned-Blue.

 

No, but why did you stop?

...also when I read it I immediately thought of Warhammer 40k Epic and had images of a gigantic Leia stamping on tiny legions of stormtroopers...
