Hoth Leia Is the Best Leia

Leia Organa isStar Wars ’ capital fictitious character . She is , also , like hermother before her , the proprietor of many excellent fashions . But as The Empire Strikes Backturns 40 today , we ’re reminded of the absolute best of them all : Leia ’s jump suit and braids for control the Rebellion on the water ice satellite Hoth .

Yes , yes , the cinnamon bunsof A New Hope are iconic . The dancer bikini of Return of the Jedi has been reclaim from pervy nerd tothe empower armorof a huttslayer . With Leia ’s return in the continuation saga , we have been blessed with beautiful gown andmore space jewelerythan we could have possibly imagine . But Leia ’s initial Empire costume — before she meld it up with a free gown from Lando and some longer braid on Bespin , before give-up the ghost for the skilful of both look to re - get into the jump suit in her escape from Cloud City — is just the epitome of why Leia rein in the first stead .

From a design perspective , it ’s splendid . Everyone in the main cast has to abruptly conform from now - iconic costumes in A New Hope considering they ’ve gone from fly the coop around on desert world , moon - sized space battlestations , and jungle planets to a lieu where you ’ll never make it past the first marker withoutfreezing to demise . Han and Luke getbig , puffy jacketsand scarf - enrobed hat , great geared wheel but it ca n’t really replicate what we recognise , up until that point in time , to represent them as fibre from a visual language . Leia gets to keep the stark egg white of her Alderaanian apparel from A New Hope ( albeit broken up with a pernicious cream vest ) but it ’s now an endlessly more suitable for the environment jumpsuit .

It work on so well because it retains the nugget of what Leia was , visually , in the brain ’s middle at that point — you glimpse the figure in livid in that lineup , even in the frosty climes of Echo Base , and that ’s Leia — but it also give her something that is so much more pragmatic . She ’s no longer only the Princess , a symbol of leadership , but a General , a commander on the ground , but still keeping elements of that symbolic aesthetic . Not to say that Leia did n’t sound off ass in senatorial surgical gown , she dead did . But this is a flavour that is ready for battle , one befitting of a woman who no longer postulate to shroud that she ’s a dissident in the Senate but a hero of the Rebel Alliance .

And then there ’s crown braid . Oh , the jacket braid , my friend . This is Leia . Like I say , the buns are iconic in popular culture , but it ’s these that really help sell that passage for her from Princess Leia toGeneral Organa . There ’s still that ingredient of royalty — it ’s literally in the name — but it ’s a more practical style than theear - muff regalityof A New Hope ’s bum . It ’s up and out the way , practical and yet still refined , designed , something Leia has prepared with guardianship . It is the reminder that yes she has changed , princess to masses without a home , but quick to fight down in their name .

A look that’s practical, but no one could ever call scruffy-lookin’.

There ’s a ground that when Leia is quick to kick shtup and take the lead in future picture show she returns to this coiffure . On Endor in Return of the Jedi , leading the strike teamfrom the front , when she commands the Resistance as its General in The Force Awakens , when she render one last time to kindle it up from good - defeat in The Rise of Skywalker . She goes fancy for the escape cock to Crait in The Last Jedi , but hey , we will not judge Leia Organa for dressing up for a space - cruise , albeit one where the spark of resistance itself is at stake . But it ’s even still there , even if in a much more notional manner . Time and fourth dimension again , back to that crown braid .

So yes , as so many important aspect of Empire are remembered on its fortieth birthday — what itbrought to Star Warsas a world , and what it did to oppugn that universe to betterembolden its ideals — let us remember that one of its great contributions will be how it fix Leia ’s most iconic aesthetic . well-chosen 40th , Hoth Leia . Long may you dominate .
