Padme And Leia Are Girl Power The Way It Was Meant To Be

In honor of May the Fourth, I declare this a day to celebrate the badass ladies of Star Wars (no, I’m not counting Rey). We’re talking the OG girls — Princess Leia and her mother, Padme Amidala. Both women exemplify strength and leadership while staying true to their gentler, feminine sides. They’re the type of ladies we wish we saw more in film, rather than the never-ending parade of monotonous “empowered women” we get nowadays.
