One of the things that helps actors take on their character’s personality is the costume.

Princess Leia’s gold bikini wasn’t the last time the Star Wars franchise had a brush with controversy surrounding a female character’s wardrobe. The prequel trilogy of the early 2000s drew mostly justified fire for being pretty much awful.
