That first pic is photoshopped, sorry. She wasn't THAT curvy.

I think she looked nice in the bikini back then but to me it doesn't do much, really. Well, it's nice to look at the pics but it's not like WOW everytime I see her. I've watched these films since I was 8 and the characters are close to me, so it's kind of like getting aroused from your cousin or something, not literally of course but I don't fantasise over her, either. If I had seen the films as a teenager it might be different but as a kid it never really had an impact on me.

Really? I don't know either way as I just found it on the net. She was pretty curvy though. She did have a nice a$$(which is apparent from the sail barge sequence) and a very nice rack if that's what you're saying. She was just really covered up in the movie.

 

I was a little older when I watched the movies. I wasn't born until the 90s so I can't comment on the impact it had back then. By the end of Empire, I had really developed a crush on Leia but I never thought of her as 'hot'. Quite frankly, I really hadn't started thinking of women that way yet. This changed when I saw her in the gold bikini though. For me, it was more like being turned on by someone you like. Although at that time, I didn't really know what I was feeling when I saw her in that. All i knew was that I just really liked looking at her in that.  It didn't help that I had just started going through puberty as well. Leia was the first woman I had ever seen naked and the fact that I already knew and had a slight crush on the character made it all the more hotter IMO.

I guess the fact that most teens are going through puberty when they see this is why it has become so iconic. As for me, Leia in that gold bikini was my ultimate teenage fantasy. This is exactly why I still have a special place for it. This I why I think it became that popular.

I thought I would make a thread on this topic.
Yes, she hasn't aged well. I agree with that. But c'mon everybody ages! When she was in her prime, she was beyond hot! She has a 'classic beauty' face as well and she didn't undergo plastic surgery to get it like most of today's actresses. The outfit itself is pretty iconic in pop culture as it is really unique with the metal brassiere, bare back and the skimpy piece of cloth covering the rear.
But what makes Leia really stand out is her personality. Despite her clothing, she literally choked Jabba to death with her chain. This was by far the most violent death in a star wars movie. Then she is shown on the sail barge fighting and aims the turret gun too. 
I was ten when I watched A New Hope and I was blown away by the first scene itself. Vader scared the hell outta me and I thought Leia had some guts being all smug in the first scene. Not to mention resisting torture.. And taking that blaster from Han, shooting the door, then at the stormtroopers and saying 'into the garbage shute flyboy'. Leia was always a toughie. 
She was mellow in Empire strikes back but after Han is frozen and is ready to let Lando die said a lot...not to mention fighting back at those stormtroopers.
Then came Return of the Jedi. When I saw Leia lying naked in the throne room, I was blown away . Later she chokes Jabba to death, escapes, and kicks ass on the sail barge. All the while being half naked. 
The scene, the outfit, and seeing the character we know like this makes her iconic. And IMO, that itself warrants a separate thread.
She was pretty curvy back in the day..Most models and actresses these days are skinny to the point of being anorexic. Just remember that what you see below ain't silicone :p .
And please vote in the poll and also answer these questions if you would like to.
What was your reaction when you first saw her in that?
Which is your favorite  pic below(post the pic if your favorite isn't listed). 
Which is your favorite scene of her in the outfit?
I was stumped when I first her in that.. The first time I ever saw a woman naked. Needless to say, she left quite an impression
My favorite pic is the first one. The body language, etc is awesome.
My favorite scene would be of her on the sail barge.
Please be decent when posting in this thread as I don't want it to be locked.
