INTRODUCTION
Princess Leia was born the Daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. After her birth she was adopted by Bail Organa and his wife making her the Princess of Alderaan. She would go on to be one of the most important people involved during the Galactic Civil War.

At the age of Eighteen Princess Leia became the youngest Senator in the Galactic Empire, and in the years that followed she would twice be elected to office of Chief Of State. While just a member of the senate she would help steal the plans of the Death Star 1. They did get caught by Darth Vader but little did Vader know Leia had received help from a droid by the name of R2-D2.

Upon being taken back to the Death Star Leia would be subjected to seeing her home world blown to bits. This did not affect Leia though as she would stay strong and help the Rebel Alliance go on to defeat the Emperor and set the Galaxy free.
