Princess Leia is who brought me to the Star Wars fandom and made me want to introduce it to my two daughters. They're huge fans of the franchise, but they especially love Leia, Padme, and Ahsoka Tano. You've got one of the seminal female characters in science fiction--why would you deny her to your female fans? #WeWantLeia

Dear Disney - do you know not realise how many girls love SW and Princess Leia?? Do you really think boys wouldn't play with a Leia doll, when she's the one who secures the Death Star plans, gets them out of the detention block, then in ESB remains defiant in Vader's face and in ROTJ rescues Han and shoots down Troopers while injured??

Come on, Disney, there were Leia action figures and the like back in the '70s and '80s. Lots of women and girls like Star Wars and always have. That doesn't keep men and boys from liking it. Merchandise for everybody, more money for you - seems like a win/win.

Enough with the slave girl outfits. Its overdone and trivializes the character, esoecially seeing as how shes only one of two female. characters with speaking parts in the entire trilogy
