I think it is so sweet that this dad
with five daughters started an online
petition to get disney to make princess
leia an official disney princess and
honor of Carrie Fisher and I'm also
impressed with all the media attention
that he's gotten for his petition disney
has certainly seen this but I'm afraid
my reality check here is it's never
gonna happen and we can do better I like
what you're like what you're thinking
your dad but you're not thinking big
enough so allow me to explain
so first off why is it never going to
happen i'm sure many of you were typing
right now we have the signatures we have
their attention she should be I disney
princess she's a princess
that's owned by disney so therefore get
rid of the red tape
well and I think some people are trying
to blame it on the live action vs
animation issue as to the daddy brought
that up and everyone's like why can't
you just do a to need version of
Princess Leia and stick her in here has
so many people did when Disney purchase
Lucasfilm they didn't want to be funny
but I also think because secretly some
people actually wanted it to happen and
now you know I think they feel there's
some real momentum with all the people
are saddened by carrie fisher's tragic
death and you don't want to do something
to honor her but again I i think we
should ask for more because the momentum
is so strong but anyway the real reason
Princess Leia can't be a disney princess
is because well it is some people like
it's not sci-fi grace it's fantasy well
it's fantasy sci fi and that means the
princess leia can't have tea or
celebrate Christmas with the other
Disney Princesses they do things as a
group and that would mess up the whole
merchandising line and that's what
really motivates disney how much money
they make with the disney princess line
inspiring little girls and making them
happy
bonus the real the real thing that the
momentum behind the disney princess line
is the the copious amounts of
merchandise and clicks you know four
games in the websites and appear on that
follow him on Instagram I actually
followed the disney princesses on
Instagram and they have a joint account
and so princess latest gonna mess the
whole thing up but I know when I speak
disney's language here when it comes
some making money they are not realizing
princess Leia's full earning potential
right so all the focus right now is on
having a female general i right or like
a female Hong soloist type of character
which is how Jenner so was
unsuccessfully sold to us but let's not
forget that a space princess who leads a
rebellion is also really cool and also
you know particularly the United States
as we go back there's a little bit of a
push back to all the you know the the
kind of feminism and the kind of
progressiveness that gave us way and I
you know and jen are so you know they're
it's things are becoming more
traditional here so what's more
traditional the princes there right
I and it also but she's also still also
the same time progressive so she said
she's actually like a rare character who
satisfies everyone because let's not
forget on the force awakens she was
general right she's in general but she
also has a murderer son who seems to
have been abandoned which is maybe a not
great commentary on career women but
let's let it go we can you know people
can interpret that as they see fit
so while the princess latest storyline
gets wrapped up in episode 8 and maybe
episode 9 perhaps digitally i made a
video on that you can check that out
there is a link down below in the video
description
let's take a cue from Road one and go
back to the glory days of Princess Leia
the character its launch to this day
millions of cost players extremely
popular right and she has always great
outfits you know she really i think
again she has all the hallmarks of them
great merchandising opportunity now you
could say well let's wait to do that
until after episode eight or nine
no no do it now do it the same times
when you know Carrie Fisher either in
the footage they filmed before a tragic
passing or she shows it digitally is
there people like oh yeah it's Princess
Leia i'm currently you know experiencing
and what I'm about to suggest right ok
so I say let's go frozen let's give her
own line you know frozen has not been
rolled into the disney princess line
it's so powerful and so potent they
don't need it to be just wouldn't it
would be unnecessary so they have to
really successful merchandising lines
right now so I'm a princess layer her
own line that supported by an animated
TV series make a computer
animated make a 2d animated whatever
floats your boat disney just do it I
think it's a really good idea and you
should they should model it after the
recently very successfully launched
Elena of avalor show that i actually
watch it's very good
it's a introducing a Latina princess
into into it she's actually she's not a
member of the Disney Princesses line
either she has her own I her own
merchandising line just as I'm
suggesting for Princess Leia and she has
a huge presence not only the disney
store up but at the theme parks don't
you know she had a whole thing with a
welcome to her she doesn't meet and
greet
it's that she's very very much I you
know part of the face of disney right so
what do we do this with Princess Leia so
she would have her own her own show
then she would have her own merchandise
line how cool it a bit of walking the
disney store and see Princess Leia
merchandise right and then also you can
have like a show or a meet-and-greet
both why not both right at the disney
theme parks and then this is where it
gets really interesting would be great
because she's our online so she's not
going to affect anybody else if we could
turn up the SAS a little bit even more
so on Princess Leia because Carrie
Fisher she snuck a lot of that into Star
Wars actually wrote a lot of your own
dialogue which is I think very
impressive and you know foreshadowed her
a very lucrative careers as a script
doctor but over the years since we've
heard not only in her interviews with
Carrie Fisher about being Princess Leia
but also had a lot of behind-the-scenes
stories from Carrie Fisher and her
co-stars that the kitchen I i think the
Princess Leia has has absorbed all of
that and she's take I think when you
think of Princess Leia you almost think
a lot of the behind-the-scenes photos
and stories at this point so wouldn't it
be great to make princess leia like this
really you know sassy character who had
a lot of carrie fisher's with an edge i
think that would be fantastic and you
can also you know there's a marvel comic
right now about Princess Leia which
isn't bad i didn't stop reading it to be
fair but it shows that you can show her
solo adventures right i'm not quite sure
what point you would do that maybe right
before you know between episode 3 and 4
although they're so that's a very
crowded space right now you could do it
after you know before she has kylo Ren
you know after episodes 4 5 & 6
well
you know it's debatable but i think
there's there's definitely some space
there to you know show her adventures I
I think I don't know if you want to do
it once she was with han Solo and had a
kid had a son but I think there's still
some space in there and while it might
really enjoy kathleen kennedy was very
much pushing the feminist agenda at Star
Wars I think Grilli animated Princess
Leia show with tons of merchandise and a
show at the theme parks would do a lot
to increase Star Wars female appeal it
already is getting a lot of women to
like it but I think you could like turn
I just like the DC superhero girls has
been quite successful I think they could
totally do that with Princess Leia for
Star Wars I think that would be
absolutely fantastic but again I want to
stress that you should also turn up the
SAS highlight carrie fisher's wit real
wit and also show princess Leia's
struggling with the confines of being a
princess as Carrie Fisher struggled with
the role and I think that would be
absolutely the best way to honor Carrie
Fisher and do something it's truly
unique so that's why thoughts again if
you want to sign the petition just get
disney do anything
there's a link down below in the video
description and I'd be curious to hear
your thoughts about what Disney should
do with Princess Leia not only to author
Carrie Fisher but to maximize her
earning potential as a character in
their stable all right here that's down
below you can check out some other
videos right now
