Princess Leia: Royal Rebel (Backstories)

A Cute and must have for fans of Star Wars and Princess Leia. Glad new readers get to appreciate her not only as our favorite Princess; but as one of the first strong female role models for both women and men. 💕😢 RIP Carrie

I enjoy the attention to readability that Scholastic Publications puts into their catalog of books.

My daughter loves hearing more about Princess Leia than she can learn from the movies. I find it very fascinating too.

My daughters loved it.

Great book! My daughter loves it.

This was great. Looking at the Star Wars saga as it relates to Leia's life might be my new favorite thing.Presented as an in-world biography, the book really focused on Leia's incredible strength as she continues to fight for what's right even after continued losing everything over and over. Reading this in the wake of Carrie Fisher's sudden passing was more than a little emotional.It was full of fun tidbits about minor film characters like Breha (I'm gonna need a whole movie about her and secret fighting skills asap Disney), cute illustrations, and mini-bios that included lines like "[Han Solo] is perhaps best known as the husband of General Leia Organa". Oh yeah, and cover art by Phil Noto. It's like Disney and Scholastic read my Christmas list. ;)Also this book somehow did a better job at explaining things than the movies themselves? Things like Anakin and Padme's romance actually sounding plausible, the way the New Republic, Resistance and First Order worked actually made sense (and there was emotional weight given to the destruction of Hosnian Prime? Whaaaat).I kind of want to buy a copy of this for every child I know.
