True, but if we were going by just the films (as most people do) they could've done a lot more with the character. I mean, take Dale Arden from the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, she does more in one film than Leia does in three! (Have you noticed Dale Arden sounds like Vahl Aradur? Food for thought.) The one thing I wanted to see more than anything in the original trilogy was Leia to have a lightsaber. So whilst Lucas saw fit to behead Sevastian Shaw and stick Hayden's on in his place, or change the editing of the film so that Greedo shoots first (and misses at point-blank range, no less), he couldn't give Leia one small scene with the saber? It's all one big mysoginistic disgrace.
