It’s not a stretch to say that Princess Leia is the coolest heroine in sci-fi, whose tough, confident persona embodied flawlessly by the late Carrie Fisher has inspired multiple generations of young girls. She never misses a shot, she talks smack to Darth Vader right in front of his face, and, according to George Lucas, she even got her Ph.D. at 19.

Over the weekend, a detail about the filming of the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, resurfaced on the Internet to remind everyone just how awesome their childhood hero really was. Twitter user Becca Harrison posted a screenshot of Carolyn Cocca’s 2016 book Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation, which quoted the 2004 commentary track from A New Hope during which George Lucas describes the character of Leia and what kind of actress they needed to embody her.

“She’s like a very sophisticated, urbanized ruler, a senator, so she’s a politician,” Lucas said in the excerpt. “She’s accomplished, graduated, got her Ph.D. at 19 and she rules people.”

Leia and Luke Skywalker are (uh, spoiler alert) twins, but Leia was adopted into a royal family and no doubt learned about politics her whole life. Luke, on the other hand, had a much more rural upbringing at a moisture farm on the desert planet Tatooine, his only recreation going into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters.

Harrison also hilariously points out how frustrating it must have been for everyone to call Leia “Princess” when they should have been referring to her as “Dr.” No such confusion these days. In the new Star Wars trilogy, the second of which opens this December, she’s General Organa now, and don’t you forget it.
