Princess Leia is 50 and ready to quit the Galactic Senate so she can fly around the galaxy with Han. Instead, she's sucked into an investigation that leads to consequences and, eventually, to the start of the most recent Star Wars trilogy. I enjoyed Princess Leia in mid-life, balancing duty with the desire to retire. I also enjoyed the political intrigue coupled with adventure. It's a good comp to the Netflix show, The Diplomat. Give me a strong, older female lead in the midst of political intrigue any day!
