GL Leia... Please?

Well I like TLJ too and I'm 44. The only thing that really bothers me in the movie is the way Luke was depicted. Otherwise I was just joking.

Now comparing Leia to Maul is totally unacceptable. Leia is much more important to Star Wars than Maul. She's as important as Luke, or Han, or Palpatine, or Kenobi... On the other hand Maul isn't, he's just the bad guy from TPM that is chopped in half and because of the fanbase he was "resurrected" but never appeared in another movie again.

On the other hand Leia is a major protagonist in 3 Star Wars movies and appears on 3 others, and if it wasn't for the death of Carrie Fisher she would probably have a bigger impact in Rey's training and development in RoS. You guys need to deal with this.

So, tbh, and joking aside, of course Leia needs to have a GL of her own. And I think they'll do it, just not now that the community seems a little bit saturated of GLs. But probably on the next wave they'll bring her to the holotables.

Those are all very good points, and it makes sense for her to be a GL. Who should be her DS counterpart though?

I was thinking about this and what if we had Snoke? No no no before you tread on it hear me out...

I know he didn't have much of a part on screen but his story has been filled out since then. He was the one who turned Kylo to the darkside, was the mastermind behind the "destruction" of the new republic, or the senate at least and turned the First Order from merely an Imperial Remant faction into the most dominant known force in the galaxy. Him being the leader of the first order would also make him the opposite to Leia. I know he was "just" a clone of palpatine but he was also separate to him as Palp saw him as unworthy to carry him. So he was used as a "proxy".
He also sought to finish the Jedi purge by hunting Luke Skywalker.

It means a return to the sequel era but I can't think of anyone else that could be a rival to Leia.

What do you all think?
