Summary

  • The Force priestesses in Star Wars: The Clone Wars hint at Leia being the Chosen One, indicating that the mantle could move from Anakin to another Skywalker.
  • Yoda's reference to "There is another Skywalker" in The Empire Strikes Back has always been linked to Leia, with The Clone Wars' words from the priestesses poetically linking to this and proving they are speaking about Leia also.
  • George Lucas originally planned for Leia to be the true Chosen One, with her becoming the Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic and defeating Darth Maul in his sequel trilogy outline. Leia's actions in The Rise of Skywalker can be seen as fulfilling this role.
