The moment where two worlds meet: the fierce, determined Leia Organa reimagined as a 19th-century muse, poised between galaxies and golden age romanticism. A little bit sci-fi, a little bit Rossetti… and entirely magical.
I’ve been imagining Star Wars through a Pre-Raphaelite lens, where heroines are painted in luminous tones, surrounded by wildflowers, stars, and mythic landscapes.

Leia of the Shattered Stars
Stephanie Chatfield
She walks in grace where planets die,
A princess forged of loss and lore;
Though tears may glimmer in her eye,
Her will burns brighter than the war.
Her braided crown in starlight gleams,
A vow unbroken at her core;

To guard the hope she’s fighting for.

Her steadfast spirit lights the shore;
For Leia’s heart, both fierce and bold,
Shall guide the stars forevermore.
