In the series, Leia Organa, played by “Bird Box” actress Vivien Lyra Blair, is only 10 years old, with her future as a Rebel leader still years off, though her sassiness and sense for adventure is all there.
Fans on Twitter were all abuzz with the sight of the classic character in kid form.

I was very surprised to see Leia in this show they didn't even tease her a little bit In the promos. It's really cool to think this is the girl who helps bring down the empire and start the resistance. #ObiWan pic.twitter.com/z8XScui3qO
