But she did call an intelligent biped a 'walking carpet'. So the only reason she didn't have slaves was probably because she'd get arrested, and not through some respect for her fellow life-forms!!

Heh, yeah. Good point. While we're here, I'd like to point out that it, well, first of all, that was a pretty harsh thing to say about Chewie, especially since he hadn't done anything wrong. But after that, I've always found it really weird when they enthusiastically hug after fighting off the TIEs. I'm sure that Leia was just angry and didn't mean the walking carpet comment, but she seems so warm and friendly after that... well, come to think of it, that's really the only time in the entire trilogy you see her warm and friendly, isn't it? ^_~
