The Movies

Leia Organa had accomplished much at a young age: a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a former member of the Imperial Senate, and a member of the Royal Family of Alderaan.

Expanded Universe

Leia was raised in a life of privilege, a stark contrast to her twin brother who grew up on the harsh desert world of Tatooine. Despite this, Leia never grew soft or decadent.

Behind the Scenes

The early drafts of Star Wars had Leia as very young girl -- a 14-year old princess, the same age Queen Amidala is in The Phantom Menace.
