Carrie Fisher Tells the Truth

The Princess Diarist by Carrie Risher

January 1, 2020 by Halbs Leave a Comment

I didn’t grow up as a Star Wars fan. In fact, I didn’t see the original trilogy until I was an adult. Therefore I don’t have the same emotional connection to the movies or their actors in the way that hardcore fans do. However, all of the hoopla surrounding the end of the Skywalker story has gotten me more interested in the whole Star Wars universe (pun???). Carrie Fisher’s audiobook version of The Princess Diarist accompanied me through all of my holiday travels and shopping. […]

Goodnight, Sweet Princess …

January 3, 2017 by xoxoxoe 5 Comments

I happened to be at the Disney park that has franchised most of the Star Wars experience last week when I heard about Carrie Fisher’s passing. Talk about bittersweet, as we saw posters of Princess Leia, from all of her franchise appearances, around the park. I first saw Star Wars on its first release in 1977, and loved her spunky take on the princess, although I have to admit my young teen eyes and heart were mostly focused on the dreamy Luke Skywalker. But I have enjoyed Carrie Fisher […]
