The rescue of Princess Leia was a mission undertaken by the Hidden Path and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Imperial Era to rescue Princess Leia Organa from Nur, home to Fortress Inquisitorius after she had been captured by the Third Sister. Having found Kenobi and Organa on the planet Mapuzo, the Third Sister captured Leia and brought her to Nur for interrogation. The Third Sister questioned Leia to no avail about a network known as the Path used by Jedi sympathizers. Meanwhile, Kenobi, alongside Imperial Captain Tala Durith infiltrated Fortress Inquisitorius to rescue Leia.
