Princess Leia is the only character whose name is mentioned in the movie. However, there is Mon Mothma, the female rebel leader. Her name is not mentioned in the movie, but as leader of the whole rebellion, she is quite an important figure.

Mon Mothma's name may not be mentioned in the movie, but it's all over the merchandise. Even as a child I knew her name. I think she should count as a named female characters.

The test is about the movie not the merchandise.

I'm a child of the 80s and saw this movie dozens of times when I was growing up --- and I've never heard of Mon Mothma.

Mon Mothma really does need to be named during the movie in order for the movie to pass on this site.
