She prevents the sinister Sith Lord Darth Vader and helps bring about the destruction of the Empire’s cataclysmic superweapon, the Death Star. In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Leia commands a Rebel base and evades Vader as she falls in love with the smuggler Han Solo. In Return of the Jedi (1983), Leia helps in the operation to rescue Han from the crime lord Jabba the Hutt, and is revealed to be Vader’s daughter and the twin sister of Luke Skywalker. Mia Thermopolis Mia is portrayed by Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries. She is 16 years old, has a license to drive, and owns a 1965 Mustang.
