Leia Organa isn’t your typical princess.

The adopted daughter of the Royal House of Alderaan was born of the Skywalker dynasty, earned a seat in the Galactic Senate by the age of 19, and proved her mettle as a freedom fighter with the Rebel Alliance, pushing forward to victory even in the face of tremendous loss. But even scoundrels and Jedi can relate to the character originated by the late Carrie Fisher, who would have turned 66 today.

To celebrate Fisher’s iconic role and the many people she’s inspired, including Vivien Lyra Blair who most recently brought young Leia to the screen in Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+, StarWars.com pays tribute to the people’s princess with a new quiz that asks: What percent Leia are you?

Andor is a decidedly new take on Star Wars, and the same can be said of its music. Nicholas Britell, an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning composer whose previous work includes the TV series Succession (2018-present), Moonlight (2016), and the The Big Short (2015), has created a score that’s less space-swashbuckling, more space-spy, for the story of Cassian Andor.

To mark today’s release of the Andor: Vol. 1 soundtrack, StarWars.com spoke with Britell about the music of the series, discussing his approach to a darker vibe, using non-traditional instrumentation, and his college hip-hop band.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones was the first major blockbuster movie shot entirely in a digital format. Over five years in active development, Lucasfilm partnered with Sony and Panavision to create a prototype digital cinema camera that bypassed the use of traditional celluloid film. For Lucasfilm, it was the continuation of a decades-long series of innovations to improve the craft of filmmaking and allow storytellers like George Lucas to realize their full vision onscreen.

Now 20 years after the release of Attack of the Clones, productions across the film and television industries use digital cameras of all kinds as others continue to use celluloid film. Mike Blanchard is Lucasfilm’s
