"Princess Leia" was a disappointing series overall.

Yes, indeed it was. Aside from some nice cover art and the flashbacks to Leia's childhood in the second issue, the entire mini-series was a waste -- a bland, shoddily-drawn, under-developed, utterly pointless waste.

I've heard virtually nothing but good things about Mark Waid's writing, but so far I haven't read anything from him which isn't either meh or lousy; this story falls into the latter category. I seriously hope he never writes for the SW Universe ever again.
