What Happens To Princess Leia After Kenobi (Before A New Hope)
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi!
Princess Leia's journey to rebellion begins in Obi-Wan Kenobi, with an impressive political career and daring missions taking place before her rescue in Star Wars: A New Hope. While it was hinted that Obi-Wan Kenobi's story would follow the title Jedi carefully watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, the Disney+ series introduced a twist in which Kenobi is forced to rescue the kidnapped Princess Leia Organa. Set 10 years after Leia's birth in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and nine years before her capture in A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi reveals untold stories about the iconic Star Wars character's childhood.
Obi-Wan Kenobi depicts Leia Organa during a largely unexplored timeline in Star Wars' movies and TV shows, with 10-year-old Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) being reluctantly trained as the princess of Alderaan before she's abducted at the behest of the Imperial Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram). Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) then recruits Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), who has been hiding on Tatooine for the past decade, to find Leia and return her home, establishing a father-daughter bond between the two characters. As Obi-Wan and Leia travel the galaxy to escape the Inquisitors and Darth Vader, Kenobi is racked with guilt over his past with Leia's true parents, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala.
