J.J. Abrams says Leia is no longer referred to as Princess in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

November 12, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Entertainment Weekly has already unleashed four Star Wars: The Force Awakens covers, a huge batch of images, and comments from Harrison Ford about his return as Han Solo.

Now the site has turned its attention to Leia Organa, with director J.J. Abrams revealing that the Rebel hero is no longer going by the title of Princess.

“She’s referred to as General,” states Abrams. “But … there’s a moment in the movie where a character sort of slips and calls her ‘Princess.’”

Gee, I wonder who that could be…
