As the Undersecretary of At Attin, Fern’s mother holds significant authority, allowing her access to critical installations like the Mint and the Supervisor’s Tower. Additionally, her ability to override the Barrier, a crucial security mechanism, demonstrates her influence in At Attin.
IntheStar Wars’context, such authority transcends mere bureaucratic power. It situates Fern’s mother as the leader of At Attin, effectively making her the highest-ranking human on the planet. This elevated status translates into a sort of monarchical position, making her the closest thing to a queen within the lore. Hence, Fern inherits this status, making her a Princess in Disney’sStar Wars.
UserBusiness_Bathroom501suggested this ideology to a Reddit forum. Fans had a pretty divided opinion on this. Some even said that Fern resembled Princess Leia from when she was a child.
Overall, now thatStar Warsis a part of Disney, it’s highly likely that Fern will soon be considered a Disney princess hailing from a science fiction universe instead of a fantasy universe, making her the first of her kind.
The potential impact of Fern being considered a Disney princess
The addition of Fern as a Disney princess has the potential to reshape the way audiences view the intersection of science fiction and traditional fairy-tale royalty. By introducing a character who embodies the qualities of a princess while existing in a futuristic, galactic setting, Disney opens the door to entirely new storytelling possibilities.

Fern’s inclusion would appeal to a new set of fans who admire the blend of science fiction and strong, relatable characters. Her story could inspire viewers to see leadership and bravery not just in the context of magical kingdoms but also in the vast and complex universe ofStar Wars. This move would emphasize that princesses can come from all walks of life, even from a galaxy far, far away.
As Fern’s character continues todevelop withinStar Wars: Skeleton Crew,her potential recognition as a Disney princess would connect two of Disney’s most beloved franchises and audience types.
