I know that for some reason people tend to pronounce the Star Wars character as "Lay-uh" today, but I remember it as "Lee-uh" in the original movie.

I don't heard LEE-a. I hear LEH-a, as in how the French Léa and the German Lea are pronounced. It is not quite an AY sound because you don't open your mouth so much, it is more like a long EH but not an EE.
