Battle of the babes...from a galaxy far, far away
If there is one fantasy story with less female action in it that Lord of the Rings, it has to be Star Wars.

Green monsters with suction pods on their heads; brown sluggish monsters with arms too small to scratch their own arse; hairy walking teddybears; they all have one thing in common. They have more screen time than female humans in Star Wars.

It took a bit of research to filter through the special effects, costumes and Tunasian rubbish dumps, but eventually I managed to scrounge up two star wars females. Now we compare....WHO IS THE ULTIMATE STAR WARS BABE???

Originally I was going to add Yarna D'al Gargan to the competition as well. I just couldn't figure out if D'al was her surname and she was a Gargan or if Gargan was her surname, and if so, what the hell is D'al?
It was just too complicated.
So....Let's have a look at the babes....
Sexy, shaggable, a jedi, rides her own speeder bike, kisses, strips down (in Jabba's palace), kills and is a princess!
Sexy, shaggable, YOUNG, doesn't mind doing manual labour, fucks Darth Vader (and that takes some balls) and she's a queen!
I dug around on the internet trying to find merchandising on the two.
I wanted to know what people bought to remind them of the character.
Alas, there's not much on Amidala. The odd star wars doll and a soap-on-a-rope (and who wouldn't want Amy in  their bath??).
Leia however is another case. She obviously has a cult following of sorts, and loses the battle on merchandising due to bad taste.
Yes! It's the one and only Princess Leia cookie jar.
Who wouldn't want this on top of their television?
Who wouldn't admire this state of the art decorative piece...WITH A USE...on the table at a dinner party?
The Queen Amidala card-board cut-out.
Life size.
It's the blow-up-doll for nerds.
The next thing I looked into was their names.

Leia Organa and Amidala. I looked up my trusted Thesaurus:

The 4 words that come closest to Amidala's name are: Amiable, Amicable (both basically meaning friendly or likeable), Amid/Amidst and Amino acid.
The amusing fact about amino acids is that they are organic compounds found in protien. Organic obviously being rather like Organa! Coincidence?

The 4 words that come closest to Organa's name are: Organ (whichever sort is meant, you can play with it), Organdie (a fine cotton fabric...who cares? we all know where this is headed anyway), Organize and Orgasm.

Surely there can only be one winner!!!
The final item I used to compare and judge the two are things they said in the films! Yes, I looked up their wittisism (Boy, George should really look into hiring a script writer), their commentary and their statements. Make of it what you can!
"You came here in
THAT THING? you're
braver than I thought!"

"Into the garbage
chute, flyboy!"

"Captain, being held by
you isn't quite enough to
get me excited..."

"It's not like that at
all....he's my brother."

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

Leia
Amidala
"You're a slave?"

"I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war."

"I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee!"



Well, if you've made up your mind who's the babe, come and tell us over at the Star Wars message board.

If you think I've left out important information, come over to the message board and find out I don't give a toss.

If you want more wittisisms on the star wars world, don't come to my Great discussions page.
The Darth Maul cookie jar.
I swear I received it as a present. Really. Honestly....
Maybe the jawa is female too
Maybe 2 films on, she'll be in with a chance
Obviously she's gonna win
My God...tell me it isn't true
and some complained about Leia's ear muffs???
even I have succumbed to buying shite
