All about the Powerful Leader Leia
Leia Organa. Everyone knows her as the determined and strong woman who walks her own path. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker and twin sister of Luke, both of whom have a strong connection to the Force, but express it in their own unique way. Leia does not choose the path of a Jedi, but rather leadership and hope. Yet she has more with the Force - and even a lightsaber - than many think.
More about Leia Organa
At birth, Leia was separated from her brother Luke and raised by Bail Organa and Queen Breha on Alderaan. A princess of the planet, she grew up to be a beloved and capable leader. Where Luke focused on Jedi training, Leia chose a different path: political and strategic leadership. She became a crucial figure within the Rebel Alliance, later a general in the Resistance, and ultimately a symbol of hope against the First Order. Despite her role as leader, she always felt a deep connection to the Force.
Although Leia received little formal training, her connection to the Force was strong. She had visions and sensed situations instinctively. For example, she knew when her brother was in danger or when her lover was killed. In The Last Jedi, we see her impressive rescue in space using the Force, and in The Rise of Skywalker, she uses her last powers to reach her son, Ben Solo - a moment that would change his fate forever.
But what many do not know is that Leia did receive lightsaber training.
Leia's Lightsaber - Pearl
Leia ultimately chose to serve the Force in a different way, but she did train with a lightsaber under Luke Skywalker's guidance. Her saber, known as Pearl, is as elegant and powerful as she is.
Pearl has a striking pink/orange base and is decorated with silver inlay. The grip features distinctive plating that provides a firm grip, and the control knob - slightly tilted forward - is designed specifically for this saber. The emitter, with three matte silver rings, allows the blade's light to shine through for an impressive effect. The bottom features a D-Clip, making it easy to hang on a belt with the KenJo Sabers Belt Clip.
Despite her skills, Leia ultimately chose not to actively use her saber. She realized that her strength lay in leadership and hope - and that the Force need not be expressed only through a weapon. Her saber was put away, waiting for the one who would carry on her legacy.
