    Interesting, but unlikely IMO. Snoke is, IMO a creature of the Unknown Regions.

    I mean this in the best possible way but Todd seems a bit eccentric (see the family he came from, duh) and, while he appears to have the best intentions, I think his head is in the clouds. I don't really believe much of what he has to say when it comes to Leia's role in IX. If he's right, I'll be pleasantly surprised as long as it's done right.

    He said specifically that they approached both him and Billie. The presence of Billie in the conversation adds significant weight, no matter what Lucasfilm ultimately ends up doing.

    I don't know if they approached him and Billie separately or together but I'm sure they laid out options on the table including using footage from VIII for IX and he and Billie said ok. Disney/LFL would have been idiots if they didn't do that from a legal perspective. Then tptb decided on their current course of action. I think Todd probably made an assumption he shouldn't have. It was maybe his preferred option and that's what he stuck with in his head. Regardless, the fact that he opened his mouth about it in the first place when Billie didn't shows some carelessness and I tend not to take his word for it.

    Interesting. I wonder if the connection is Holdo since MSW seems to think Leia knew her in her youth.

    Leia knew
    Holdo and the planet Crait in her youth
    he said on their last podcast (#193). He didn't say where that came from, but the new Leia youth novel is just about out now.

    I think you nailed it. This has to be it. Holdo and Crait.

    HERE ARE ALL THE NEW STAR WARS BOOKS COMING ON FORCE FRIDAY II

    Leia: Princess of Alderaan (Disney Lucasfilm Press)
    by Claudia Gray

    It is Leia Organa’s sixteenth birthday and she participates in the traditional ceremony where she declares her intention to one day take the throne of Alderaan. But she’s much more concerned about the way her parents are acting lately: lots of meetings and late dinners and not talking to her as much as they used to. Eventually she discovers the reason for their secrecy: their involvement in the increasingly organized rebellion. When Leia decides to become involved herself in the fight against the Empire, whether her parents approve or not, she will have to prove to them that she is a valuable asset who must be allowed to take a stand, regardless of the risk to herself. Her stand will also put her at odds with a pacifist young Alderaanian man who gives Leia her first kiss…and her first real loss.

    A Leader Named Leia (Disney Lucasfilm Press)
    by Jennifer Heddle (author) and Brian Rood (artist)

    To some she’s a princess, to others a general, but to everyone Leia Organa is one of the galaxy’s greatest leaders. Learn all about Leia’s exciting adventures with A Leader Named Leia.

    I'm really excited to see this book, I read there's a lot of Organa family in this (also I want to know how teenager Leia was)

    Wasn't Leia 15 and already involved with the rebellion in Star Wars Rebels?

    According to Wookieepedia, A Princess on Lothal takes place 3 years before ANH, so Leia is 16 then.

    I guess the episode take place shortly after the book.

    Great! That's certainly going to added to my collection.

    And I hope the blaster this time means that we'll see Leia in action. According to a study, Leia was the better shooter in the OT (even better than Han). The Force certainly enhanced her abilities.

    That is the BEST looking Leia toy from the ST merch so far.

    And both the toy art and that new full body shot are ferocious. She looks absolutely strong, bold and beautiful. THIS is the Leia mean of us envisioned when the ST was announced.

    I'm so glad Carrie got a chance to shine as Leia in the ST. I'll be forever grateful to Rian Johnson.
