Leia at 16 is not yet her parents’ heir to the throne of
Alderaan. She still has much to learn
about life and herself and how the galaxy works under the thumb of
Palapatine. She still has faith in the
Imperial Senate, but is seeing more and more abuses of power. And now her parents seem to be pulling away
from her and hiding things, when they used to always share. As she meets other teens from throughout the
galaxy and works to right the wrongs she sees and tries to find out what
secrets her parents are hiding, she is on her way to becoming more the Princess
Leia we will see in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Another rich background story in the Star Wars
universe. Have fun with this. Gray also wrote my other favorite Star Wars
backstory – Lost Stars.
