While we mourn the death of our beloved space princess, we remember Carrie Fisher‘s Princess Leia as a force to be reckoned with (much like Fisher herself). This strong, independent royal didn’t just reign in a galaxy far, far away…she dished some serious, Tatooine-sized sass. From ‘telling it like it is’ to uttering some of the most heartwarming lines in the Star Wars saga, here are some of Leia’s best moments…
1. “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
2. “Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
3. “Will somebody get this big, walking carpet out of my way?”
4. “We all have doubts about ourselves, sometimes. It’s part of what makes us sentient beings. Doubt makes us examine ourselves and all that we do. And without that we become nothing short of monsters.”
5. “Someone has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly boy.”
6. “Captain, being held by you isn’t quite enough to get me excited.”
7. “Governor Tarkin, I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.”
8.”I’d just as soon kiss a Wookie.”
9.”You have your moments. Not many of them, but you do have them.”
10 .”Someday, you’re gonna be wrong. I just hope I’m there to see it.”
11. “I don’t know where you get your delusions, laser brain.”
12. “Well, I guess you don’t know everything about women yet.”
13. “You know, no matter how much we fought, I always hated watching you leave.”
14. “Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder.”
15. “Who are you?” “Someone who loves you.“
16.”I love you.” “I know.“
