You know, I swear that Princess Leia grabbing the blaster is a direct copy of Lois Lane with the machine gun in that Fleisher cartoon. SOMEWHERE on the internet is a kick-ass article with an analysis of Fleisher Lois in regards to the Progressive movement of the time. (See also: Nelly Bly. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nellie_Bly ) who could very probably be considered the Real Life Lois Lane.)
