MISC. MANGA, *Leia: Princess Of Alderaan

Claudia Grey wrote a bestselling novel taking place in the new Disney-approved Star Wars timeline which covered the early years of Princess Leia's life. This was adapted into an official manga webcomic titled Leia Organa: Ordeal of the Princess by artist Haruichi, who also did the artwork for The Legends Of Luke Skywalker. The manga itself is being reprinted as a series of manga graphic novels through Disney.

Speeding through the adorable years of the post-prequel trilogy, Leia, the adopted daughter of the Viceroy Bail Organa and Queen Breha of the propserous planet of Alderaan, which has fallen under the control of the newly risen Galactic Empire. Leia is now sixteen, and going the the three trials to become the recognized heir to the throne of Alderaan. She first goes on a mercy mission with Alderaan military to the war ravaged world of Wobani(shown in Rogue One), but is appauled by how the Empire treats its impoverished citizens. Not able to take provide relief for all the citizens, she allows a hundred of them to be hired as members of her ship's crew in order to give them a better life on Alderaan, but this unkowingly shoots down a plan that Bail Organa had for give all the Wobani people. This strengthens Leia's resolve to understand politics better by becoming a galactic senator. She then begins another part of her royal trials by engaging in pathfinder training. Future adventures have Leia crossing paths with Star Wars regulars like Grand Moff Tarkin and Mon Mothma, plus the beginning of her relationship with fellow senator Holdo.

Haruichi does a splendid job of bringing life to Claudia Grey's young adult novel, especially with how adorable Leia was when she was a "youngling". This fits well into the current Star Wars history, as its been revised after Disney bought out Lucasfilm, which seriously rewrites alot of the original expanded universe lore. Fans of the dearly depated Carrie Fisher will totally enjoy this spotlight on the "Young Princess Leia Chronicles".
