Star Wars fans in love as She Hulk star takes on Princess Leia role

Cuteness overload

Star Wars fans have fallen in love with the She-Hulk star who recently played the role of Princess Leia on stage.

Before I proceed, no one and I mean no one could ever replace the late, great Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars. Even though we’ve seen countless recasts in popular movie roles over the years, I’d be surprised if someone else was to play the iconic princess in a live-action TV series or movie.

Check out the trailer for Star Wars: A New Hope below!

It’s fair to say that despite looking like it won't be getting a second season, Tatiana Maslany was well-cast as Jennifer Watson in the Disney Plus series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law being able to blend her fourth-wall-breaking comedic timing and badassery as the feminine, angry green Hulk.

Whether we see Tatiana Maslany return as She-Hulk in an MCU movie remains to be seen. However, if there was ever a chance that Princess Leia could be recast, judging by this recent stage performance, we could do a lot worse than Tatiana Maslany.

“Tatiana Maslany at this celebrity Star Wars read-through made a great Leia for...reasons,” said Redditor lorimar sharing a clip of the actor on stage reading a famous line performed by Carrie Fisher in Episode IV - A New Hope as part of the Star Wars Minute podcast.

“Maslany is an absolutely amazing actress. If you haven't already, do give Orphan Black a watch. The things she does are INCREDIBLE,” replied Alaknar.

“Tatiana Maslany has a background in improv, right? If so, that makes this even more special because she's in her element,” said markjricks.

“I would 100% watch Tatiana Maslany play EVERY character in a one-woman stage performance of Star Wars,” declared PortlandPetey.

“Tatiana Maslany is an absolute, underappreciated gem,” said ptwonline.
