yeah that is one of the things that the prequel trilogy got complaints about, but imo the prequels was watching why the jedi order floundered and everyone playing into palpatine's hands and knowing nothing was going to get better any time soon no matter how much political maneuvering there was u_u from what i've read of leia's backstory, it seemed more interesting and hopeful? haha and also i wanted to see her doing legit rebel missions while pretending she's just a naive princess on diplomatic mercy trips throughout the galaxy sigh
