Growing up with a dad who loved "Star Wars," I grew to love it as well. Call me a nerd, but now it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Princess Leia was a character I instantly fell in love with and soon idolized her, even to this day. She took the role of princess and completely turned it around, and I loved it.

In honor of the latest installment of the "Star Wars" franchise, "The Last Jedi," releasing its first movie trailer, here are six times Princess Leia was badass:

1. When she just got rescued by Han and Luke... and then decided to rescue them

She took control, and even though that led to the garbage chute, they got away from the stormtroopers.

2. When she totally roasted Luke, even though he's trying to save her.

So savage.

3. When she takes over her own rescue mission.

She totally just took over everything, because she's Princess Leia, and she can.

4. Basically anytime she held a gun.

She made me want a blaster of my own.

5. When she gave no shits after being captured.

She kept it together so well after being captured by the most fearful leaders of the Empire, and thought it would be a good idea to roast them.

6. Her savage clap-back after Han was being... well, Han.

You can't deny, the chemistry is slowly building, and although she tries to fight it, nobody can resist Han Solo. But she totally puts him in his place.

Since 1977, Princess Leia has been seen as an icon for females all across the world. Even today, Princess Leia remains of the most beloved and badass characters of the entire Star Wars franchise. And Carrie Fisher, the woman who plays her, only adds to the character's feminist power. And although Fisher tragically passed away not too long ago, her memory will never be forgotten, and her most iconic role will live on for generations to come.
