George Lucas got the idea for Princess Leia's iconic "space buns" from Mexican revolutionary women. Specifically Clara de la Rocha, a total badass.
Clara's descendant recounted:
"She crossed a river on horseback…and was able to take out a power station in order to allow the rebel forces to attack during night without being seen."
Just like Leia, eh?
