'So is it Dr. Princess Leia Organa?': The Internet is freaking out that Princess Leia got her Ph.D. at 19

This weekend, Twitter user and University of Glasgow professor Becca Harrison posted a portion of an interview with "Star Wars" creator George Lucas in the book Superwomen: Gender, Power and Representation by Carolyn Cocca.

In it, Huffington Post reported, Lucas said that the character Senator Leia "Princess Leia" Organa -- a resistance fighter and senator in the Galactic Empire -- earned her Ph.D. at 19.

“She’s a politician, she’s accomplished,” Lucas said. “She got her Ph.D. at 19 and she rules people and she's in charge.”

The director and producer said that he chose the late Carrie Fisher because he needed an actress "who could push these guys around."

Fisher herself notoriously called Leia "a sass factory."

"Hang on wait what...," wrote Dr. Harrison on Twitter. "Leia had a PhD in Star Wars? Christ can you imagine having everyone call you Princess when you were actually Dr Organa?"

"Star Wars" fans from one end of the Twitterverse to the other promptly went bonkers.
