leia: the chosen one?


George Lucas Said That Leia Would’ve Been The Chosen One In His Version Of The ST. 🤯

According to revelations in Star Wars Archives: Eps I-III: 1999-2005, Lucas planned for Leia to become the Chosen One, not just a leader of the Resistance but someone who would truly bring balance to the Force.

This, of course, is a major departure from what ended up on screen under Disney’s watch.

But what does this mean for the overarching Star Wars story?

Lucas’ Ever-Evolving Ideas

One of the biggest things to understand about George Lucas is that his ideas were never set in stone.

Over the years, he frequently changed his mind about the direction of the Star Wars saga, often reimagining key plot points.

For example, the idea of Darth Vader being Luke’s father didn’t come into play until The Empire Strikes Back, and Leia wasn’t originally written as Luke’s sister.

In The Last Jedi, Luke still bears the blaster shot he received to his robotic hand in Return of the Jedi. 😱 Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋 When I rewatched Episode V not too long ago, I paused right at that moment, Leia placing something over Luke’s arm.

“It’s a trap.” - Admiral Ackbar, Return of the Jedi Did You Know? Morgan Elsbeth Is A Real Life Badass Diana Lee Inosanto isn’t just playing a villain—she’s the real deal!
