She was probably my first innocent crush, as a
nine-year-old boy during that summer of 1977. I was swept up in Star Wars mania back then, as we all were, having seen
the movie twice, read the novelization, and received a ton of merchandised toys
that Christmas. Though I haven’t been a fan of the franchise since 1983, Luke,
Leia, Han, Ben, the droids and Darth Vader are part of some of the fondest
pre-adolescent memories I have.
Rest in peace, princess.
[Shocked that 2016 has claimed another part of my
youth …]
