I just want to add that she was an incredibly lovely person. I met her last year at a comic con and she was so approachable, caring with a naughty streak. She was my first crush having grown up in the 70's and 80's as a huge Star Wars fan. Her beauty shown through and will continue to. Sleep well Princess, may the Force be with you.
