The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that a "Star Wars" brain trust was considering how best to proceed with Leia's story.

With more than 250,000 American veterans returning from war with brain injuries, and with more than half of those being under the age of 25 (the average age of a veteran with traumatic brain injury is about 19 years old), the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs should have a significant role in the PABI Plan.
This broader role for PB as a risk factor for GWI is supported by identification of dose response effects in several studies [ 25, 26, 59], and by studies linking PB use during the Gulf War to brain and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal alterations in Gulf War veterans evaluated many years later [ 9, 18, 19].
