ST Carrie Fisher (Leia) in Episode VII (Sad News posted on Page 269)

Until, of course, they publish content with Mark. (I kid) Trust me, you'll get a lot of press AFTER the movie comes out and we've all seen it. There will be so much Luke, you'll be floored.

I'm ignoring most of it. Occassionally, something like that funny GQ video interview with John will make me take notice.

Meanwhile, back on topic:

I like Leia's formal 'do. Very stately and it looks like a more mature version of the up do from the end of the first Star Wars.

 

Don't go nightangel I am sure Luke will have some great moments in the ST.

 

That would definitely fit, but I wonder if poor Finn might be confined to the medical bay for most, if not all of the denouement. I remember reading that Leia, the droids, Maz, and Poe all gather to say goodbye to Rey as she's leaving - she has to specifically go see Finn to say their goodbyes. Which makes me think he's not gonna be healthy enough yet for walking around and attending a medal ceremony right away... And I doubt the movie would take the time for a medal ceremony unless both Poe and Finn could be present to receive medals (since they'd both deserve one). Lol it'd be a bit unfair if someone had to come deliver his medal to his hospital bed and he didn't get honored at a ceremony. Or maybe I'm wrong and he is healthy enough, and when Rey visits him he's just getting a check up in the med bay, not confined? Hmm.

I do feel like any medal ceremony in this movie will be a lot more somber than the one in ANH, considering the greater loss of life and resources the Resistance experiences at the Starkiller fight (it sounds like hundreds if not more could end up dead when the Starkiller weapon goes off, on top of the loss of Han).

Leia's dress reads as funereal to me, but her hairstyle seems more ceremonial which makes me lean towards medal ceremony. We'll see what happens.

 

I imagine it will be more of a salute to Han, and a more tender ending for Han and Leia, with Leia paying some sort of homage and love to him. Like Luke with Vader on Endor.

 

Well, if there's a funeral/memorial service for Han, I guess it's before the fond farewell. Anyway, I'm sure the fond farewell scene will make me cry.

 

Has anyone discussed the possibility that Leia is a Jedi in this film? Perhaps she has a lightsaber and perhaps she uses the force in some scene. After all she is force sensitive. I can't believe that 30 years have gone by and she did nothing with her powers. Luke did say at the end of ROTJ that she would learn how to use that power in time. 30 years seems enough time.

I believe Leia was Luke's first Padawan. Otherwise, it'd be such a waste of potential. In my opinion, if Luke is the first of the new Jedi, Leia must be the second.

That said, Leia is a politician and military leader first and foremost, so I don't think she would be a traditional Jedi like Luke.

I think we'll see glimpses of her Force powers in TFA, but not much. More will be shown in VIII and IX.

 

I agree. They're not going to give all the answers at once. And there will be surprises ...down the line. I think we'll see her in strictly military mode, with her tough resolve. She'll probably crack a smile briefly with Han when they are alone and in between their bickering. I'll predict when Maz hands her the light saber there will be a slightly prolonged moment that gives the audience pause, but it will be over quick. The aha! moment will be when she senses Han's fate.

I think that will be it... So people debate her qualities until the next film. But before the series is over, I think they will have her do something surprising and have the audience cheering.

 

I sure hope they give her something surprising to do and I'm happy seeing her as in War Room mode too.

 

I'd love to have a Leia/force-sensitive "ah ha!" moment that is not just sensing something through the Force. A Jedi mind trick or a force push or something.

 

Yeah, but I think that will come in the next movie.

 

In the final film, Padme doesn't wear the peacock gown. Back to Leia: I wish there'd been more interaction with Natalie and Carrie, similar to how Carrie and Daisy have been lately.

 

She wears it in a deleted scene, tho. I think it's pretty safe to say Leia will wear that outfit in the movie - the scene it's in may end up being deleted too, for all we know, but I don't think they'd dress her up in something for the posters that she never wore for filming at any point.

 

You see glory, but....

I think Darth Corvus is on to something.....when the Princess becomes Empress... I'm telling you all right now. Don't say I didn't warn you. It may be episode 9 before we get the full reveal, but it is coming.

 

so who else thinks that the person to call her princess would have to be Han?

 

I think that's about 99% likely.

 

I need to hear Han calling Leia Your Worshipfulness at least one more time.

 

i dont get the urgency for Leia to be a Jedi. wit further context, i think we'll find that all 3 of the OT characters have been far more busy then what many seem to think. marriage, kids, loss of kids (whether child/ren or niece/nephew), rank of General, long lost brother.. if she does show some sort of force powers other then 'sensing', id be surprised, even moreso if she knew how to wield a light sabre. however, if they do go with some sort of power shes been taught or learnt, i wouldnt be disappointed either.

 

The big surprise will be Carrie's beautiful rendition of the life day song at Hans funeral. I would cheer.

 

I will stay at least as long as Luke is alive in the ST. I would only not that invested in the story anymore after Luke died and when he has no offspring to care about in future adventures.

But funny how many now even discuss that Leia could be a Jedi, while she has the kids + being a Leader/General etc. Only Luke has to be a traditional Jedi and no time to find a love interest in 30 years.

 

Just because Kylo is solo doesn't mean he isn't skywalker blood. Leia is a skywalker and her son would be too.

 

Thank's for reminding me on this, since it was not mentioned 9000 times before that a Solo is also a Skywalker. I mentioned Luke's offspring, so your argument is the wrong answer to my post.

Confirmation Kylo is Han and Leia's son:

EXT DAY - 198 - ACADEMY • Leia and Han Solo hand over Young Kylo Ren to his Uncle for training
EXT DAWN - 200 - ACADEMY • Young Kylo Ren being trained by his Uncle
INT NIGHT - 202 - ACADEMY • Bodies left behind - Young Kylo Ren is gone
EXT DAY - 203 - JAGGED TERRAIN/PALACE • Kylo Ren joins The Knights Of Ren

Wonder how they'll do a young Han and Leia - CGI like in the Hobbit? This also confirms that Han and Leia didn't divorce/separate until after the massacre....some of the rumours were saying they split up right after ROTJ.

 

On the bright side, this means we ARE getting an on-screen union with Mark, Harrison and Carrie. Empire magazine was right.

 

INT DAY - 240 - RESISTANCE BASE - LEIA'S AREA • Han Solo tells Leia that Rey is worth saving.

EXT DAY - 198 - ACADEMY • Leia and Han Solo hand over Young Kylo Ren to his Uncle for training
