Yesterday, Disneyland announced its imminent arrival its timeline shift for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge We return to the era of the original trilogy with a look at Han Solo, one of the new walk-on characters heading to Batu. It…kind of didn’t go well some people think The fact that it remains a wildly difficult task to get anyone other than Harrison Ford in Han’s shoes, and then some a little lower They must have been a random Disney cast member who were probably told to wear some bloodstripe print pants.
Perhaps to compensate for this strange wave of reaction, today Lucasfilm and Disney decided to offer something to distract people in the form of the latest new character to arrive in the park. Galaxy’s EdgePrincess Leia. And good news! He looks better.

Now there was nothing again great Wrong with Han. The performer was good; her costume was a little too clean (you could really say the same for Leia). If there was anything particularly bad about it all, it was that he had a bad wig. Really the thing with Han does Even imagining it without Harrison Ford is a big problem, a problem not even Lucasfilm can solve by throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into the film. And Leia? Pretty cool!
Its appearance is heavily inspired by the adventure gear originally introduced In 2015 For Marvel Princess Leia Mark Waid and Terry Dodson’s miniseries, itself a moral riff on Leia’s greatest appearance of all time, its Hot gear— So unlike Han, you don’t have the problem of looking like a slightly off-kilter version of his movie outfits. It’s different, but still thoroughly Leia. The hair, meanwhile, is straight up to Leia’s crown braid The empire strikes back It’s still not 100%, but at least it’s not that definitive, instead of the bulge he drew with that suit in the comics. a wig Like Han. It’s the best of both worlds and ultimately serves to match Leia’s vibe.
Still, it really shows how inseparable Ford felt from Han that there was such a vociferous response to him. Galaxy’s Edge Although not with Leia (and she wasn’t with Luke when she was added, we still got used to Luke’s unusual digital avatar with her. The Mandalorian and Boba Fett booktherefore the unusual effect was less noticeable). Hopefully things will feel less personal when Han and Leia join Vader, Luke, Chewie and more. Galaxy’s Edge Starting April 29.
