More than three decades after her appearance in Return of the Jedi, Carrie Fisher returned to the Star Wars universe with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and other select actors from the Original Trilogy for The Force Awakens. By this time, Leia Organa is one of The Resistance's generals, and because of Ben's turn to the dark side, her and Han had been separated for many years. When we see her again in The Last Jedi, Leia will continue to be leading the charge in the asaault against The First Order, though in addition to her standard military duties, she will also be preparing ace X-Wing pilot Poe Dameron to take on an expanded leadership role within The Resistance. The Last Jedi trailer from earlier this month also set up the possibility that Kylo Ren will destroy the ship that Leia is on board during a space battle, though it remains to be seen if he'll actually pull the trigger.
