~O~ for Princess Leia Organa
My Theme for the 2014 A to Z Challenge is: SciFi/Fantasy Characters in Novels
I'll introduce you to a new scifi/fantasy character from the plethora of novels I've read over my lifetime. My goal is to entice those who maybe haven't read much in the genre I write and share why I find these characters so interesting. I hope you'll enjoy taking the ride with me.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . .
Luke Skywalker lived and worked on his uncle's farm on the remote planet of Tatooine, but he yearned to travel beyond the farthest reaches of the universe to distant, alien worlds. Then Luke intercepted a cryptic message from a beautiful, captive princess . . . and found himself catapulted into the adventure of a lifetime.
Luke Skywalker, proud Princess Leia, and headstrong Han Solo . . . merciless Darth Vader, wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, loyal droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, and the inscrutable Yoda . . . Chewbacca the Wookiee, shifty Lando Calrissian, and the vile Jabba the Hutt . . . all the vivid characters from the Star Wars universe spring to life in these thrilling pages.
The Star Wars Trilogy is a must-read for anyone who wants to relive the excitement, the magic, and the sheer entertainment of this legendary saga now and forever.
Leia is the SciFi version of Wonder Woman. She's strong, smart, can handle weapons, and is a shrewd politician. She gives female characters in the genre a leg up and shows that not all female characters need rescuing. She's the founding member of the Rebel Alliance and as Luke Skywalker's sister is also strong in the force. She trains as a Jedi after the defeat of the Empire.
Have you checked out my debut novel?!! It's a girl superhero novella appropriate for YA or Adult readers. And it's a quick read for those who find themselves short on reading time! Please give it a go and be sure to let me know what you think!!

Leia was my hero when I was a little girl, still is, really.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was a book. The original trilogy still outshines anything that has come afterward.
ReplyDeleteI still have not read any books in the Star Wars universe though I love the movies and have dressed as Leia for more than one occasion (I would really love to put together Leia's Hoth outfit from the beginning of Return of the Jedi for a comic con).
