I was seven when Star Wars premiered (we saw it at the former Winchester Drive-In) and you had to been there to see what a big it was. Everyone in Star Wars was a part of mine and many, many other childhoods. Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher.
She also had some hilarious scenes in another favorite movie from my childhood, The Blues Brothers.

Robert Kirkendall,
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Star Wars. Carrie Fisher stole the show. I’ll always remember her as the brave and beautiful Princess Leia.
