 In Return
of the Jedi, Leia, Chewbacca, Lando, Luke (now nearly a Jedi Knight),
and the
droids go to Tatooine to try to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt.
Leia's
part of the plan consists of posing as the Ubese bounty
hunter Boushh, who will turn Chewbacca over to Jabba. Her ruthless
bargaining as Boushh, negotiating the price for Chewbacca at the end of
a
thermal detonator, impresses Jabba and Boba Fett enough to allow her
quarters
in the palace for the night. The Huttese gangster eventually discovers
her real
identity, captures her, makes her his new slave girl, and
forces her to wear her now iconic metal bikini after she frees Han from
the
carbonite.
After Luke
kills the Rancor,
Jabba sentences Luke and Han to be fed to the Sarlacc. Just as
all seems lost, Lando, disguised as a guard, helps Luke and Han
overpower their
captors. Leia seizes the moment to kill Jabba by strangling him with
the very
chain that bound her. R2-D2 cuts her loose, and after Luke boards the
sailbarge, he rescues Leia. With Leia's help, Luke uses a deck cannon
to blow
up his barge as they swing to safety.
