In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Princess Leia is both a goddess and a temptress. She is one of the most complex characters in the trilogy because of the thin line she walks between these two identities. As a goddess, Leia gives purpose to the hero's journey (according to Joseph Campbell) and she does this for both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. For Luke, she gives him purpose to be a Jedi Knight and fight for the Rebel cause. For Han, she is an object of desire and goes from being a rich princess for whom Han will receive a reward from to someone he really loves and cares about. He fights for the Rebel cause partly (maybe mostly) for Princess Leia.
She also acts like a temptress. When it is revealed that Leia and Luke are brother and sister, Luke's bond with Leia is immediately compromised because he now knows that there will be nothing between them and that she can use the force like he can. Leia also acts as a temptress to Han because they are obviously in love and it compromises their ability to fight for the rebel cause. However, they are able to overcome this and destroy the Empire. Leia's role in the trilogy is to compliment the male hero while he finds purpose and meaning for his journey. She also acts like a goddess and a temptress for both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo.
Her role as temptress in the sixth episode of Star Wars develops as the tries to keep Luke from pursuing Darth Vade.
