Ha! The article is funnier than that intro. Nice to see a girl geek heading into the mythos with a true geek's fervor; this is the female version of Jordan's ongoing investigation of the Millenium Falcon's troubled interior/exterior relationship.
Here's my favorite part:
"Jabba's Palace: Sigh. This is just a single braid and a hairpiece. Totally plausible. What doesn’t make sense with this is that she dashes about the galaxy fighting rebellions in completely inappropriate hairstyles and her most practical style shows up when she’s not doing anything but lounging in metal underwear with a giant slug."
[Image] From Skepchick: For some time now, I’ve felt there’s an uncomfortable fact lurking in the corners of fandom that no one has yet brought out into open discussion, and I’ve decided it’s time we face its probably unpopular reality. I’m sorry to have to break the news to you if you’ve so far lived in blissful ignorance, but here it is: almost all, if not every one, of Princess Leia’s hairstyles are impossible to pull off in real life.
