- ―Leia's sparring partner is surprised by the princess's strength
A human served as sparring partner to Princess Leia Organa of the planet Alderaan when the latter skipped a lesson she was supposed to be taking on language study. The pair fought with polearms atop one of Alderaan's many mountains, and the sparring partner was surprised when Organa managed to knock them down. The princess joked that she had been able to do because she had eaten plenty of ruica while growing up, causing her partner to laugh. Organa's adoptive father Bail Organa then arrived in an airspeeder and scolded his daughter for missing class before taking her away and leaving the sparring partner atop the mountain.[1]
While fighting, the sparring partner wore a white outfit with metal gauntlets. They had red hair and light skin.[1]
Behind the scenes
The sparring partner first appeared in a flashback, albeit unidentified, in the second issue of the Star Wars: Princess Leia comic-book series. The issue was written by Mark Waid, illustrated by Terry Dodson, and released by Marvel Comics[1] on March 18, 2015.[2]
