My favorite text about Leia, from a thread by Anne Thériault € @anne_theriault
“Princess Leia was great, but General Organa was Fisher's real gift to us. And she's who I'm going to be looking to in dark times.
Everyone is sharing pictures of Fisher when she was young, but let me show you the Leia that was the most important to me: General Organa.
She's not young. Not wearing a gold bikini or a robe. She's dressed to do what she's been training her whole life to do: lead the rebellion.
This is the Leia that has lost everything: her world, her parents, her son to the dark side, her brother to who knows where, her lover
This is the Leia that could easily have broken down or given up. But she was stronger than literally every man in her life. She kept going.
Because for Leia fighting for what is right and just is more important than her feelings or her personal life. She. Is. A.
Fucking. Fighter.
Unlike Luke or Han, Leia keeps fighting when things seem impossible. In spite of all the losses she's suffered, in spite of impossible odds.
She's in it for the long haul. She is the real fucking hero in Star Wars. Without Leia, the rebellion would have be quashed long ago.
When I see Fisher as General Organa, I see a woman who has put up with so much shit from so many men and yet keeps showing up for them
In General Organa I see a woman changed by loss but not destroyed. I see a brilliant commander with good people skills & tactical knowledge
Princess Leia was great, but General Organa was Fisher's real gift to us. And she's who I'm going to be looking to in dark times.
May we all be able to get up every day and, in spite of our pain and loss and fear, put on our boots and vest and plan to destroy the empire
May the 4th Be With You
