Star Wars: Lucas' Inspiration For Leia's Hairstyle Makes Her Even Better
George Lucas' inspiration for Princess Leia Organa's hair in Star Wars makes her even better, as it's also tied to real history. Leia's story in the franchise has put her among the ranks of sci-fi’s finest diplomats and revolutionaries, taking on numerous titles from Senator Leia to General Leia. Equally as famous as her skills in espionage and warfare are her distinct designs and braided hairstyles, which cemented Carrie Fisher as both a hero of the genre and the fashion industry. Though the original and definitive «cinnamon bun» hairstyle from 1977's A New Hope evolves throughout the saga, its influence is still clearly there right through to Carrie Fisher's posthumous appearance in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
