The Twitter force has awakened Carrie Fisher.
On Monday, the Star Wars actress retweeted a few fans who aren't happy that the Disney store isn't selling new Princess Leia products. The issue was called to her attention when the official Disney Store Twitter account told a user that there are currently "no plans" to carry Leia toys.

@DisneyStore @nataliewreyford @carrieffisher Carrie Fisher, did you know Disney is not selling Princess Leia dolls? What are your thoughts?— Brigid (@BrigidCovey) December 1, 2015
Fisher also began retweeting other users who tweeted in support of more Leia toys.

@carrieffisher it's almost as if there is no such thing as Leia merchandise at all. pic.twitter.com/LcuDuskHtU— Katie Daley (@violinist391) December 1, 2015
Princess Leia isn't the only female Star Wars character missing from shelves.
In November, the popular hashtag #WheresRey called attention to the fact that Rey, the lead character in the upcoming The Force Awakens, was not available in action figure packs in stores like Target and Walmart.
I'm so turned off by @target. No #PrincessLeia or #Rey to be found. Leaving the store NOW. #wheresrey #wewantleia pic.twitter.com/L74tNmjJ7b— temasls (@temasls) November 30, 2015
However, retailers who do sell Rey products have noticed that they "are selling out fast," according to Bloomberg.
Target spokesman Lee Henderson also assured fans that Rey products will be more available "after the film opens."
