A secret until the launch of the show, fans were happily surprised to see Vivien Lyra Blair appear as a ten-year-old Princess Leia in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Vivien, at the tender age of nine, already has over a dozen acting credits to her name. It’s clear based on the reactions to her performance, however, that Princess Leia is going to be the role everyone wants to talk about!

Little Leia is freaking ADORABLE. Absolute scene stealer. Cute, sassy, so much like her mother, such a perfect portrayal of a young version of the character… I wish Carrie Fisher could see this. 😭#ObiWan #ObiWanKenobi
