Elizabeth Bennet a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away….

Princess Leia, portrayed by Carrie Fisher in the original Star Wars movie trilogy, is one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance. She is the twin sister of Luke Skywalker, and is the daughter of Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker. Leia and Elizabeth are both fiercely independent, confident, and quick-witted. Both turn away the love interest of the story at first; When Han Solo flirts with Leia, she says: “I’d just as soon kiss a wookie,” similar to Elizabeth’s quote that Darcy was the last man on Earth that she would marry.
