Star Wars: The Force Awakens is almost here and in speaking with J.J. Abrams, the director of highly anticipated movie, IGN asked him about Princess Leia and why she didn?t become a Jedi after Return of the Jedi. Abrams explained, "It was a great question, and one that we talked about quite a bit, even with Carrie. And one of the answers was that it was simply a choice that she made, that her decision to run the Rebellion, and ultimately this Resistance, and consider herself a General, as opposed to a Jedi. It was simply a choice that she took.? Abrams then added, "But clearly we?ve seen, and we do again, that she still is Force strong. And it?s something that I think is an intrinsic piece of her character.?
