Cine-files: Separated at Birth?


Were Star Wars' Princess Leia & The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen separated at birth?? 

The heroines of these trilogies are smart, independent, sarcastic, rebellious survivors, thrust into scary life & death adventures.  Both have ambiguous relationships with two attractive male sidekicks - one more aggressive, and one more contemplative.  Both know their way around weapons, hang out in forests, run for their lives, and fight for freedom and revolution in strange new worlds controlled by a powerful and creepy evil overlord.  (Not to mention that serious braid fetish...)
