Escaping from Imperial
stormtroopers that invaded her consular ship,
Princess Leia Organa hid in the dark innards of the

blaster pistol, with which she punched a deadly hole into the armor of a stormtrooper pursuer. She only managed to squeeze off a single shot before being stunned and taken captive.
