Panel Overview

In 1977, Leia Organa was a revelation – the self-rescuing, wise-cracking princess. In the years since, we’ve met even more women in the Star Wars universe who are breaking molds: from Padme Amidala to Ahsoka Tano to Rey, Rose Tico, Jyn Erso, and Val. The panel will look back on the history of women in the Star Wars universe, and how their roles have changed over the last 40+ years.
