I preordered mine in December. I can't wait until she's here. I've never bought any of the 1/6 scale figures but I had to have the general.

I have the Hoth version that came out a few months ago, and it’s amazing. Bought on an impulse... I mean those prices... but wow! The Hoth version is about as accurate as humanly possible.

I never knew that the young Cloris Leachman played Organa in TLJ.

Yeah, Cloris circa that time ...including Mary Tyler Moore Show is not a bad thing.

Nine Nunb and Rose's unconscious body should have been in this pic.

Maybe have Nien standing in between Finn and Poe, behind Leia.

Then have Rose's body on the floor.

I adore the smirks that Carrie makes, especially while doing duck lips - she makes me laugh and warms my heart at the same time.

I really wish there was a Leia / Kylo/Ben scene at the end ... I'm fairly certain that Supreme Leader Ren would've been able to sense his mothers' existence on Crait ... though I cannot imagine the audience reaction had he then turned all weapons on Leia .. leadig to her exit from the series.

FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW: WHAT IS THE BEST SCENE IN STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI?

One of the great things about Star Wars is that it inspires endless debates and opinions on a wide array of topics. Best bounty hunter? Most powerful Jedi? Does Salacious Crumb have the best haircut in the saga? In that spirit, StarWars.com presents From a Certain Point of View: a series of point-counterpoints on some of the biggest — and most fun — Star Wars issues. In this installment, two StarWars.com writers discuss which scene from Star Wars: The Last Jedi stands above the rest.
Click to expand...

Leia using the Force to pull herself to the Raddus is the best scene, says Amy.

Leia Organa, general and princess, knows life or death situations. This is the woman who has ferried the Death Star plans to safety, escaped an Imperial attack on Echo Base, and so much more. She’s faced her end before our eyes, but it never seemed as certain as it did in The Last Jedi, when First Order fire upon the Raddus‘ bridge caused Leia to careen into space, unprotected and alone. But she wasn’t truly unprotected; she had the Force.

I lost track of the number of times Episode VIII made me cry — I do so easily — but Leia using the Force to pull herself back to the ship, back to life is the best and one of the most emotional scenes in the film.

We know Leia has a connection to the Force. She’s powerful, too. The short story “There Is Another” from the book From a Certain Point of View (not related to this column) revealed Leia was the one Yoda wanted to train, not Luke. Yoda longed to turn her disciplined mind to learning the ways of the Force; he looked askance at Luke’s immaturity and impatience. Yoda must have thought she’d do just as well as Luke, if not better. We’ve seen her in tune with the Force, too. At the end of The Empire Strikes Back, she connects with Luke through the Force and uses it to find her brother dangling in the air in Cloud City. She uses the Force to reach her unborn child, Ben Solo, in Aftermath: Life Debt. We see that she feels Han’s death through the Force in The Force Awakens.

These moments, which may not be as epic as Jedi using the Force in battle, aren’t little. They illustrate what she’s been able to achieve with the Force on her own and through some guidance from Luke. They set the stage. We understand Leia can use the Force, even if it’s not a cornerstone of her life the way it once was for Luke. For Leia to draw upon it to save her own life in such a spectacular way wasn’t the biggest shock. It was only a matter of time.

Leia connected with the Force to move herself out of death’s cold grasp in space. She still sustained serious injuries, but she survived. To watch her draw upon such strength when she had been so physically weakened…it’s hard to describe how much the scene meant to me. I’m a fan of Leia. I’ve been proud of how she’s grown in the decades after the Battle of Endor. I’ve been heartbroken over the losses she’s endured. I’ve felt triumphant in her moments of victory. I feel like I’ve been by her side for so many years. To see her accomplish such a feat with the Force, underscored by John Williams’ quietly mighty use of “Princess Leia’s Theme” combined with “The Force Theme,” is one of the most meaningful things I can imagine for a character I care so deeply about.

And not just because the Force pull meant Leia avoided death, though I was pleased about that, too. It was Leia once again saving her own skin. The Resistance didn’t have the capabilities to pluck its officers out of the vacuum of space. Leia couldn’t rely on anyone else in that scene, which part of her must have known. She used the means she had available to her in order to return to the safety of the cruiser, and it was more than enough. The scene represented how Leia has and hasn’t changed; she was a self-rescuing general.

Then there’s the factor of Carrie Fisher’s death. I can’t ignore how her passing figures into the effect of this scene. She’s delivered more than a few unforgettable scenes — telling the flyboy to get in the garbage chute, talking to Han about their son, and on and on — but it’s such a joy to see Fisher get to use the Force in this grand fashion, particularly in a moment when it seemed like Leia was lost.

That sums it up nicely for me too. I know it’s controversial with some hating it. But for me, it’s just perfect and beautiful on so many levels. It’s magical. It’s the essence of Leia to inately keep fighting. It’s the magic of Carrie Fisher basically returning from the great beyond.

I loved this. I would've paid good money to get slapped by Carrie at least once.

I'm jealous of Oscar isaac

I watched the documentary Director and the Jedi, and it broke my heart when Carrie said, "...this is the end isn't it..." in a deleted line between her and Mark on Crait. I imagine that line can be used in IX, I could see both of their Force ghosts having a brief conversation at the finale, perhaps if the Skywalker line ends...

"SHE'S ALWAYS WITH US." Mark Hamill opens up about why he says his late friend Carrie Fisher is always "looking over me," and shares some of his favorite memories of Fisher's notoriously unfiltered ways.

See to be reports circulating today about Meryl Streep potentially being recast as Leia

I'd be in favour. The character deserves a resolution to her arc on screen that must include scenes with her son.
