Honestly, her franchise, STAR WARS, has had more staying power than any of the princesses franchises, alone, or combined.
I don't see how adding Leia to the lineup would "boost" anything, and likely would cause Disney to "drop" other princesses from retail merchandise.
Marketing them separately has worked out well. There is a group, I'll bet, of Star Wars fans who would feel totally angry with Star Wars being "polluted" by Disney Princesses...or some such rot. So there would be another backlash anyway--- from yet more of the Disney Princess haters. LOL, just what we'd need...
She's live action and she'd stick like a sore-thumb compared to the others. Also, Star Wars' scifi aesthetic doesn't mash well with the classical Disney "old fantasy" look. Maybe that's probably why in merch we never see the Star Wars characters interacting with the classic Disney ones.
1. She's live-action.
2. There are plenty of Disney heroines who deserve to be added to the lineup before they even CONSIDER Leia. Esmeralda, Meg, Jane Porter, Giselle, Mia Thermopolis, Kida, Alice, Eilonwy, Anna, Moana, Elizabeth Swann, etc... Even Melody (a frigging direct-to-video Disney OC) from The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea deserves to be part of the lineup more than Leia does.

In my book. Nah. Why go asking for more trouble?
