Flash Gordon and Princess Leia

 


I wonder how much of the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi Disney+ series will focus on the Skywalker twins.  I've heard that Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will be back as Uncle Ben and Aunt Beru, which indicates that a young Luke will be in there somewhere.  Will we also see scenes from the early years of Leia?

Flashing the Princess, ah the good old days. Wait till Star Wars is done in WandaVision. Things to expect after the virus.

This is a fantastic cover, Ross! It's another one of those that I can't tell wasn't created this way in the first place, and its action is dead-on right down to the direction of the blaster fire.

As for Leia on Kenobi, I think we may get some brief glimpses, but not as close an issue as Luke. Obi-Wan left Leia on Alderaan, but stayed on Tattooine to monitor Luke. How much we see of Luke will depend on how much time Obi-Wan spends offworld, but Leia's probably as likely to show up on that show as she is on Andor.

Speaking of Cassian Andor, I think it might be fun, as his series approaches release, to have him visiting his namesake moon from Star Trek.

Brilliant cover! And a really intriguing teamup - one I'd love to see more of. These two universes mesh together very smoothly.
But...does Leia know that's not brother Luke behind her?

@Davejonz: she probably not only knows. She probably made a deal with him! She helps rescue Dale Arden from Palpatine. He helps rescue Han Solo from Princess Aura.

The question is--considering what a looker Ming's daughter is--does Han really _want_ to be rescued?

@Anonymous: I think that point is Muti. ;-)

P.S. @ Ross: could you, someday, do a sequel to this cover using photo-captures of Harrison Ford and Ornella Muti?
