The genie Jeannie, played by the adorable Barbara Eden on I Dream of Jeannie, was a character of great interest to me when I was a young boy. It took me quite some time to understand precisely why I enjoyed that show. Eventually, I knew: it was the plot.
Leia, in her slave outfit in The Empire Strikes Back, was a bit more assertive than Jeannie, but likewise inspirational to a generation.
Here is cosplayer @Margo mixing those two iconic outfits together during a recent photo shoot at The Peachy Collective. Major Nelson and Captain Solo will no doubt be attentive.
