    Huh… It never occurred to me (because I was a dumb kid) that Leia has to be a princess of a domain.

    I guess she was supposed to be the daughter of one of the Galactic Empire’s vassals like the Atriedes to the Padishah Emperor and the Corrinos in Dune. Then she would be helping a rebellion to overthrow her lord’s rule over her and her fellow vassals, hence the alliance in Rebel Alliance, which is also like the Landsrad in Dune.

    Dune did leave a big influence on sci-fi. Even the Force is like the whole prescience (eg. Deflecting lasers using foresight) and shared ancestral memory thing (eg. Connections to everyone and communing with the dead, which always seemed so random to me at the end of New Hope). Luke and Leia definitely embodies a lot of qualities of Paul.

    Also, she’s racist against Wookies? Lol when was that shown? 😆.

      Like when she says something like “Would somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?” and general demeanor in interactions and absence of interactions.
