"classy"
"worth turning to the dark side for?"
"that is a very good look!!" "Jabba sure knows how to pick his women"
"she wants you teach you a Jedi mind trick"
"is that a lightsaber in your pocket Darth?"
Slave Girl Leia - these three words have been burnt into the psyche of the male population ever since 1983 when millions of unsuspecting 12 year olds like myself suddenly realised that even in a galaxy far, far away, women looked good in metal bikinis!!
And so as Star Wars mania slowly subsides over the next few weeks – I think it’s only right that we take a few moments in solemn contemplation and thanksgiving for Slave Girl Leia – and we can only wonder what might have been if Natalie Portman had turned up for Padme duty in her table dancing ‘Closer’ outfit by mistake!?
Above is a small gallery of Leia appreciation – if you have a better Leia photo, please feel free to leave a link in the comment section below…
May the Force be with us all.
