Editing Princess Leia (section)

==== ''Return of the Jedi'' ====
In ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' (1983), Leia infiltrates Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine disguised as the [[Ubese]] bounty hunter Boushh. She frees Han from the carbonite, but they are both recaptured by Jabba, who chains Leia and outfits her in a metal bikini. After Luke arrives and kills Jabba's [[rancor]], the crime lord sentences Luke, Han and Chewbacca to be fed to a [[Sarlacc]], a deadly ground-dwelling beast. The group overpowers their captors, and Leia strangles Jabba to death with her chain. The companions then escape the planet and return to the Rebel base. Later, they travel to the forest moon of [[Endor (Star Wars)|Endor]] to disable a shield protecting the second Death Star. There, Luke reveals to Leia that he is her twin brother and that Vader is their father. After joining forces with a tribe of [[Ewoks]], the Rebels manage to destroy the Death Star and defeat the Empire.

Following the release of ''Return of the Jedi,'' Fisher commented on the way Leia is depicted: "[She] gets to be more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate. But let's not forget that these movies are basically boys' fantasies. So the other way they made her more female in this one was to have her take off her clothes."<ref name="Rolling Stone 1983"/>
