- You can either offer an explanation to make it make sense or you can take it out of the movie.
How is Leia a princess?
When a prince and a woman love each other very much, they get “married” and the woman becomes a princess.
Actually, Leia is a princess because her adoptive mother was a queen.
It is not explained in the films. But as has been said, Warb, just because something is left unexplained does not mean it is unexplainable. Before you call out TLJ for not explaining things you wish it had, I suggest you read the novel because it might answer those questions.
again, [explanations] aren’t canon.
If it’s not in the movie, then you apparently don’t accept it as canon. If you don’t accept novels as canon, you also won’t accept our explanation as canon. If you don’t accept our explanation as canon, and you only accept canon, then why do you want explanation?
If you only want to complain because there is no in-film explanation, then that’s your own fault for not accepting external sources of information as relevant. You choose to not accept them.
It is not the movie’s fault. It is by your own choice.
