Princess Leia

"Aren't you a little short to be a Storm Trooper?"
Its been 20 years since I first watched Star Wars: A New Hope, and its affect upon my general existence cannot be taken too lightly.  One of the first truly successful science fiction movies, it was a space opera of massive proportions. The twist on the role of the Princess exemplified the role that women could be in power, take command and be beautiful while they do it.
George Lucas may have made some terrible choices at later dates regarding characters in the Star Wars universe, but he did all right with Her Highness.
