While on a diplomatic mission to her home planet of Alderaan, Princess Leia’s and her ship, the Tantive IV, is captured by the clutches of the imperial empire. Darth Vader ruthlessly interrogates her and keeps her prisoner. The strong princess is even forced to watch her beloved home planet crumble into dust. Leia is helped by two unlikely heroes, two droids, and even a Wookiee! Leia wears her classic senatorial gown through the long journey.
