Leia's name...


How come General/Princess Leia's surname is 'Organa' I thought she was Luke Skywalkers brother? How come her surname isn't Skywalker? Did she get married or something?

reply

It's her adopted name. Apparently she was "legally" adopted and took her adoptive family's name. Luke lived with family and kept his own name....

by that logic why wasnt Luke's name changed to Lars?

We don't know that it wasn't for a time.

Well, Owen wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. I'm sure he didn't give a rats' ass what name Luke had.

He probably backsassed the stormtroopers, then ended up getting flamed for it.

Idiot!

Luke wasn't adopted by them. He just lived with them. Adopted kids typically take their adopted family's name. Kids who stay with relatives may or may not do the same thing.

Makes a good point though, if you were hiding a boy away from his father, even on the other side of the galaxy, youd think it would be prudent to change his surname.

reply

Well, that's another issue altogether....

Because he wasn't adopted, he was staying with family. Leia was adopted, Luke was not. It's pretty simple actually.

reply

Oh I didn't know she was adopted. Are house Organa a big name in the galaxy? Or are they just regular people? Leia should have a double barrel name, who wouldn't want to be a Skywalker in the SW universe? Leia Organa-Skywalker

reply

Bail Organa was Senator and later King/Prince of Alderaan, so yes, his family name was a big deal.


Leia was also daughter of Amidala Padme Naberrie, one of the royal families of Naboo.

So I suppose technically her name is Leia Naberrie-Skywalker Organa.

No, they weren't just regular people. That's kind of why Leia was given the title of Princess. Bail dies in Episode 4 when the Death Star blows up Leia's home planet.

reply

Oh yeah I just thought she was a princess because she was a Skywalker or something, Im not a huge star wars fan as you can probably tell haha
