Actress Carrie Fisher on the set of “Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back” (1980). I’m so geeking out over some pretty big academic news:Hang on wait what… Leia had a PhD in Star Wars? So at age 19, as she appears in the original “Star Wars,” Princess Leia Organa was already a senator and the holder of a PhD? The idea of Leia being the James Franco of the Star Wars universe is too much for this fanboy to bear. Luke’s narrative journey in the original trilogy is about starting off as a cocky kid who thinks he should not be afraid of studying a discipline.
