*1: The 亞/亚 in Leia’s name can be pronouced ya3 or ya4 according to Taiwan pronunciation, but the character should be pronounced ya4 in mainland China.  Personally, however, I think the name flows much better with the use of the ya3 pronunciation.

My random  thoughts and comments: 

One thing that really frustrates me about the Star Wars movies is that the subtitles are in no way consistant.  Sometimes terms change from movie to movie - sometimes even within the same movie, as if there were several people working on separate parts of the project that never communicated with one another.

And no, I’m not going to re-translate the scripts of six movies merely to set my mind at ease on such an inane topic - I don’t have time for it…at least, not right now.
