Who is Leia Organa Solo

Princess Leia Organa Solo of Alderaan (born Leia Amidala Skywalker) is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. She was portrayed by actress Carrie Fisher in "Star Wars: A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi", as well as The Star Wars Holiday Special. Aiden Barton appeared as an infant Leia in "Revenge of the Sith".

Princess Leia is one of the main protagonists of the original Star Wars trilogy. In "Return of the Jedi", it is revealed that she is the twin sister of Luke Skywalker, and thus the daughter of Darth Vader. In the Star Wars prequel films, her mother is identified as Padmé Amidala.

As the heir to the Alderaanian throne, Leia also serves in the legislative High Council of Alderaan and a term as Galactic/Imperial Senator of Alderaan. After the Rebellion's victory on Endor, she establishes New Alderaan, a sanctuary for the destroyed planet's surviving inhabitants. The Royal House of Alderaan, in the person of Leia Organa Solo and her children, continues to hold sovereignty over both New Alderaan and the old Alderaan system. Her title is largely ceremonial, however, as the government on New Alderaan actually administers the Alderaan system and New Alderaan in her name. Alderaan thus has been ruled under what seems to be a constitutional monarchy.

Although her relation to Darth Vader became public knowledge some time after the Empire's defeat on Endor, she remained known as the heir of Queen Breha and Bail Organa, and thus a member of the Royal House of Alderaan.
