2. Isn't a little odd that the head of a monarchy with the title of princess is the leader of the rebellion? When's the last time you heard of rebels lead by royalty in the pursuit of freedom and democracy? Democracy has only been able prosper once monarchies have been removed or had its power taken away like England. |
Boudica (pronounced /ˈbuːdɨkə/; also spelled Boudicca), formerly known as Boadicea (/boʊˌædɨˈsiːə/) and known in Welsh as "Buddug" (d. AD 60 or 61) was a queen of the Brittonic Iceni tribe of what is now known as East Anglia in England, who led an uprising of the tribes against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire.
Boudica's husband, Prasutagus, an Icenian king who had ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome, left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman Emperor in his will. However, when he died his will was ignored. The kingdom was annexed as if conquered, Boudica was flogged and her daughters raped, and Roman financiers called in their loans.

she'd have no standing as a queen because she'd have no one to rule over. they're all dead.
:o |
By that logic she would have to drop her Princess title. You can't tell me that everyone was on the planet. They have space ships and someone was probably picking up some milk when it happened. |

While I was dropping a duce at work today I was pondering some questions about Princess Leia from the incest Darth Vader thread
1. If Leia is a princess and Luke is her brother then wouldn't that make him a Prince and Darth Vader would be the King? If Leia thinks her father and mother are dead, why isn't she Queen?
2. Isn't a little odd that the head of a monarchy with the title of princess is the leader of the rebellion? When's the last time you heard of rebels lead by royalty in the pursuit of freedom and democracy?

| a more important question is, why does landau wear han solo's clothing at the end of the empire strikes back when they escape via the millenium falcon? was he too good for his baby-blue-shirt-and-cape outfit or what? |

It was probably laundry day, and those were the only clothes he had available in the Millenium Falcon. |

thats because his mom is still alive and she's the queen dumb dumb. in the case i described she the only royal left and would be the only one who could succeed to the thrown.
just thought of another. how could leia be a princess, she has no royal blood she's adopted. i'm not an expert on monarchies so lets hear it from an engrish bloke. ian? |
