imo Leia an abject failure in every way, just like Han and Luke, but the movies have absolutely no self awareness and they're made by complete idiots who either didn't notice or didn't care because they'd rather push a feminist message over the reality of the situation. Leia watched her home planet get destroyed and fought a meaningless fight her entire life against the Empire for a better future that never ended up happening because her own son betrayed her, turning into a whiny, autistic, emo school shooter manchild obsessed with his grandfather who helped tear down everything she fought for in the OT, and the Empire somehow returned. She put her work above her family while her husband regressed into a pathetic old man and ran away.
Throughout the entire sequel trilogy she's massively incompetent and makes idiotic decisions like wasting time looking for her brother who doesn't want to be found or not warning anyone about what the First Order is going to do with Starkiller Base before they blow 5 planets up when they have the plans for it. She sends some random teenage girl she doesn't know to meet her brother in person instead of going herself. The Republic dislikes her so much they don't even bother helping out until Episode 9 when Sheev comes back somehow. Rian put her in a coma. She was a fucking princess of a planet, now she's an geriatric general of a privately funded military (fuck off TFA). She absolutely refuses to confront her faggot son, the one thing that could stop the war for, NO APARENT REASON until the very last movie where doing so kills her. By the way, she was also a Jedi but she quit to focus on her family because her son would die or something, but he ended up dying anyways.
TLDR I fucking hate what Disney did to Leia
