princess leia hope

This mural, a heartfelt tribute to our much-missed Princess, Carrie Fisher, was painted at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol during the South Bristol Arts Trail.

The artwork celebrates Fisher’s most legendary role, Princess Leia from Star Wars. The painting portrays Leia gazing out at the viewer with strength and resolve, accompanied by the word ‘Hope’ beneath her. This message is a nod to Shepard Fairey’s iconic Hope poster, as well as a reference to Star Wars: A New Hope, symbolising the resilience and optimism we seek after losing someone irreplaceable.

This piece of Star Wars-inspired street art honors Princess Leia as a beacon of hope for fans around the world. It also reflects the enduring legacy of Carrie Fisher, whose portrayal of Leia continues to inspire strength, courage, and a belief in a brighter future.
