In the week following the passing of actor, writer, and mental health advocate Carrie Fisher, outpourings of grief and tribute have spread far and wide across the galaxy. For now, few have come directly from the current license holders to the Star Wars franchise, the Walt Disney Company.
A change.org petition posted by Star Wars fan Cody Christensen seeks to change that. It includes a simple request to the Walt Disney Company and its CEO, Bob Iger: declare the character of Princess Leia an official "Disney princess."
"We feel that it is only fitting for Disney to do away with the rule that an official Disney princess must be animated and make Leia a full-fledged princess," Christensen's petition reads. "This would be a wonderful way to remember Carrie and a welcoming to one of Disney's new properties that is beloved by millions."
Sure. She's a princess, and Disney has Star Wars now, and Leia's the best Disney princess, so why not make it official?

The counter to the question, "Why not make Leia Organa a Disney Princess?" is "For how long will Disney own the 'Star Wars' franchise?" Hell, there are plenty of princesses in Marvel Comics, and if anyone petitions to make one of them a Disney Princess, the same question applies. If Disney suffers from severe financial problems, and decides to sell the 'Star Wars' franchise to another studio... if George Lucas decides to buy back the franchise so he can pass it onto a designated heir, one who will use the ideas that J. J. Abrams rejected... what then?
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
Eh, theoretically, Disney could sell any of their characters if they saw fit.

If Disney knows what's better for them... they will. They should/ought to.
Just like WWE making AJ STYLES World Champion!
