Princess Leia
I've always thought Carrie Fisher was cool. As a kid, I was a big fan of Return of the Jedi and Princess Leia. I thought she was beautiful, and believe it or not, I wished I could wear a gold bikini and have my hair in giant buns on the side of my head. That was my idea of exotic. And I've sort of always understood the Princess Leia fantasy. So imagine how flattered I was when I received this in the mail from my nephew:
How awesome is that? Xander was jealous that he did not receive a drawing as well...until I pointed out that he's married to Princess Leia. Not a bad consolation prize, if I do say so myself.

Yeah, internet! You all wish you were married to Princess Leia!
I think a reenactment of the scene on the barge over the pit of Sarlacc is in order. Julius will play the part of Jaba the Hutt, and Luna (who is a ninja) will play the part of Luke Skywalker. I, of course, am Han Solo, which is to say that I will play a piece of slightly creepy art throughout the reenactment.
Oh, the shame! I just realized that I -- i.e., Han Solo -- was unfrozen in the previous scene by Alana.
And the explanation for my poor memory of the order of events? It's been over 10 years since Jedi was remastered and re-released, and that was the last time I saw it! I think it might be time to revisit the canon.
Yay! Way to go Princess Bunhead!
When I was in third grade, there were only seven students in the class and we were all girls, and I had NEVER had my hair cut (except once. Ahem, Fabertid.) If we finished our work with time to spare, Mrs. Masenheimer and the other girls would braid my hair and put in in Princess Leia buns. Montessori school rules!
I'm totally stealing Xander's thunder here, but he reminded me that CO's comment is referencing one of our favorite parodies of all time:
Thumb Wars!
Woo hoo! Obscure reference catch FTW!
You win one internets.
I'd say as fantasies go, Ross' Princess Leia is pretty tame. I kept waiting for him to say he wanted to put a collar and chain on Rachel, but I guess he wasn't ready to go there.
