The Rise of Skywalker, being the official culmination of the trilogy, has hit fans hard. Many fans took to Twitter to share their feelings about the franchise. Beloved actor Mark Hamil loves twitter and has, in the past, replied to many fans. One such fan tweeted a picture of her daughter’s Darth Vader shoes, and how when her five-year-old daughter wore these shoes to school, a classmate pointed out that Star Wars is for boys. To which she replied that the franchise could be for girls a well.

Hamil’s tweet

Mark Hamil did not just reply to the tweet, but also came to the tiny fan’s support saying that had Leia not come to their rescue, Han and Luke would have been doomed on the Death Star. This, of course, was the first time she came in clutch, but she has always been vital to the workings of the films. Along with that, she has also inspired a generation of women with her portrayal of the brave Princess.
