Leia. Good Choice.
I like the name and it is very appropriate.

But one suggestion, can we perhaps get rid of the requirement that the names should be mythical places? I think there are now more exceptions than the rule [emoji1]

Perhaps the name should just be related to media that kodi allows consumption of, ie. movies, tv shows, music, games (retroplayer wink wink) etc.

Leia is a great name, but have you not seen what you are doing to concept of "community"?

No, BigNoid is referring to the blogpost on the main page of kodi.tv that talks about her passing.

Tell me more about the community?

Edit: I guess I can address the point as well. We did worry about that. As noted in the blog post, we have generally gone with the community vote. This was just a decision that felt right. And based on the overwhelming positive feedback of the community on the blogpost and in social media, I'm feeling pretty good about our decision.
@Billy goat - you're maybe confusing community with democracy?

We asked for input, but it was stated iirc that it was just that, nothing was binding and the final choice was up to the team.

Not ignored I assure you. Having said that I voted for Leia given the way the idea it suddenly came up in the holiday season. It seemed right. 'nuff said.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)
Also, don't forget the context. The suggestions thread didn't lead to a decision and was reopened to try to lead to a decision. The unfortunate events made the suggested name stand out from the crowd of other suggestions.

I think it was a great choice and I wouldn't want some generic voted-in name instead, no matter how popular. This one has a meaning.
The tally of suggestions was taken a few days before the tragic death of Carrie Fisher, after that event the idea of a tribute wad raised not only within the Team but also from the Community on here, on the blog, and via social media, so it was decide to put it to a Team vote on this occasion.

Going by the overwhelming positive reaction, apart from a couple of naysayers, we would seem to have made the right decision, and I expect the +1's to soon eclipse the 95 times Loki got.
Wow, some of these reactions are even more negative than when the devs chose to memorialize David Hasselhoff's death...
I'm just glad my suggestion ended up being the name regardless of how it ended up happening, haha. :-P

But yeah, I think it's a great tribute.
