Princess Leia and Aunt Beru are the only named female characters in the movie, but they never meet.

Even though there's no way this movie passes the test, at least Leia has some political and moral concerns that don't specifically have to do with men and/or romance, and doesn't always defer to her male companions in decision-making. Not too bad for a '70's movie, even if (despite the presence of Aunt Beru) she is kind of a "Smurfette" character.
