4.0 out of 5 stars For Leia fans of any age., October 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Captive to Evil by Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars Journal) (Paperback)
This short book was written for the 9-12 age group, but is of interest to any Leia fan. It is well constructed, flows nicely, and contains new insights into her character. The author is obviously intrigued by the Han-Leia relationship and provides some interesting and fun details on their initial feelings towards each other, as well as on Leia's early relationship with Luke. This is not a "relationship" story, however, and those aspects are nicely balanced with action scenes. A good read, certainly appropriate for the intended age group, and, particularly at the low price, worthwhile for any Star Wars fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is awesome!, December 30, 2001
By 
This review is from: Captive to Evil by Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars Journal) (Paperback)
Remember the very first movie shown in theaters of the Star Wars Saga? Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca, and the droids team up for the first time against Darth Vader and the dreaded Death Star.

Now relive it all from the viewpoint of Princess Leia Organa. She wrote it all in her journal in hopes that should she die, the journal and all its secrets would find its way to the Rebellion!

***** The book reads much like a diary with a recorder built in. It begins before the movie did and ends shortly past where the movie ended. Leia tells how she came into possession of the Death Star plans and what she endured as Vader's prisoner. We can see how the Force influenced her strongly in her decisions. Though she had no idea what or where these strange and strong feelings were from, Leia trusted it. We see a glimpse of the proof showing that the Force runs strong in the Skywalker family, and we understand more about Leia, Luke, and Han. All-in-all, this book is a masterpiece! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars Her royal pain in the highness, August 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Captive to Evil by Princess Leia Organa (Star Wars Journal) (Paperback)
The Han-Leia interaction in this book was hilarious. When he interupted and entered "her royal pain in the highness" in the data pad. (In the true spirit of Han and Leia's first meeting) I was rolling on the floor laughing. Thoose two are funny together, even in the face of being nearly killed. Nice to see there are new insults to read about. I'm a big Leia fan and a Han Leia nut, so I loved thoose parts. When she said han solo was correctly named, because no one could be a bigger fan of Han Solo than himself, I was dying. Nice also, is her mixed "he seems famliar" almost motherly inclination towards Luke.

Perhaps the best part of the Journal is the insight into her time on the Death Star. We knew she wasn't just sitting around painting her nails, but to read what happened is a totally different thing (Especially since we now have an image of her life on Alderaan). She attacked her father (Vader). Okay, she didn't know he was her father, but....

It's a wonderfully fun read.

Actually, the only journal I haven't read is Anakin's and they've all been good.
