Princess Leia embarks on a quest to rescue surviving Alderaanians in Marvel’s 2015 mini-series Princess Leia.
In this episode, we are going back to 2015 to discuss the first Star Wars mini-series by Marvel comics. Shortly after Marvel began producing its two ongoing titles, Star Wars and Darth Vader, it added Princess Leia to the mix. In this story, Leia sets out to rescue Alderaanians before the Empire can find them and wipe them out. She takes along fellow Alderaanian Evaan, who doesn’t particularly like Leia when this story begins. Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we discuss the highs and lows of Leia and Evaan’s adventure.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The backstory to this limited series,
- The setting and setup for Leia’s mission,
- Perception of Leia by other Alderaanians,
- The introduction of the character Evaan and what she thinks of Leia,
- How Leia embarks on her quest, and
- Leia’s thoughts on what it means to be from Alderaan.
