We celebrate Valentine’s Day by discussing a classic novel from the Legends era: Dave Wolverton’s The Courtship of Princess Leia.

 

In this fully and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

• The background to The Courtship of Princess Leia,
• How Legends differs from the novels of the current Star Wars continuity,
• The overall story of this book, including our favorite moments,
• Leia’s difficult decision in choosing between Han Solo and Prince Isolder,
• The competing women lead societies in this novel, and
• How The Courtship of Princess Leia influenced current Star Wars stories concerning things like the Nightsisters, Dathomir, and riding rancors.
