Editing Princess Leia (section)

=== Comics ===
Leia's youth is depicted in the ''[[Star Wars Tales]]'' story ''The Princess Leia Diaries''. Leia develops a disdain for the Empire, as well as a conflict with Tarkin. She discovers and decides to support the Rebellion.

During the events of the comic series ''[[Dark Empire]]'' (1991–92), Palpatine has been resurrected in a clone body. As part of his plan to restore the Empire, he seduces Luke to the dark side of the Force. Leia resists Palpatine's attempts to turn her as well, and escapes with the Jedi [[Holocron]], an artifact he needs to secure his power. When Luke pursues her, Leia manages to turn him back. Luke and Leia then fight Palpatine with the light side of the Force, destroying him with his own Force-generated storm. In ''[[Dark Empire II]]'' (1994–95), Leia gives birth to a third child, [[Anakin Solo]]. Palpatine is reborn in a rapidly deteriorating clone body in ''[[Empire's End]]'' (1995), and seeks to possess the body of the infant Anakin.
