To be fair, Sigourney said that that’s her character’s backstory, that she was from the same era. Anything to drop the name of Princess Leah while pimping the new stuff, I guess.

She didn’t “fight beside General Leia” because There was no General Leia and she didn’t fly X-Wings. Lucasfilm is far from a comeback, this movie is not it, Starfighter will not be it and there’s no sign they’ll change or even understand why they’re failing.

It’s a stupid looking concept. That’s the main drawback of it.
---It was perfectly fine as a Disney+ streaming show for TV and should have stayed there.

It looked great in theaters though. My home setup is really nice but nothing matches the big screen

Where she fought and flew X-Wings? She wasn’t a General and playing dumb isn’t going to work..

Where is Sigourney Weaver’s character in that scene? Where is she called General? Did you know that in the original movie a senator is giving the pre strike talk to the pilots?

And? Officially she goes from Senator to the first Chancellor to the republic. The point is she’s doing the same thing with zero title and def not a General. This is just humoring you to meet you on your own terms. In reality you don’t even have an argument but I understand that people like you can’t accept information unless you think you’re coming to it on your own.

Touche

Its specifically written that Mothma promoted Leia to General before Empire Strikes Back. Its not something I came up with.

You are arguing that what is written (and later shown in the movies) is false because you didnt come up with it.

Again and this is a copy paste from the official character profile

Was Empire Strikes Back not prior to The Force Awakens?

The scene i posted from Empire Strikes Back shows her acting as a general, giving direct military orders.

No you didn’t and the logic you used to make that assumption has already been dissolved. If her character had been made general prior to Return her profile would’ve read that instead of prior to TFA. You're making it up against actual evidence and proof to the contrary.

Here’s more precise timeline proof

quote:

In the expanded official Star Wars canon, her ascent to military command is detailed in the novel Star Wars: Bloodline by Claudia Gray. Disillusioned with the political gridlock and corruption in the New Republic Senate, Leia stepped down from her position as a senator and founded the Resistance to monitor the remnants of the Empire. It is during this era, decades after the Battle of Endor, that she fully adopts the military rank of General


Also from her character profile referencing Disney’s official cannon

Its from the official comics Issue #55, titled "Hope Lives", not a meme

You clearly are out of your depth when it comes to star wars
