Yo Te Querer Infinito

Having just finished watching the latter 2/3s of the original Star Wars trilogy, I can rest for another month or two until the urge to watch them rises again.

Most guys saw A New Hope as late-"tweenagers" or at the onset of puberty, and I guarantee they all remember seeing Princess Leia. She [the character, not the actress] stands as the first crush of many young men... as well as many confused young ladies, and that's why Leia is a prevalent pop-culture image. She is forever immortalised in the hearts of millions of guys.

I have a preference for opinionated girls with whom I can argue/debate, which is probably a subconscious emulation of the Han/Leia dynamic.

As for Carrie Fisher, resembling Leia has resulted in a somewhat negative 29 years. When how she looked between the ages of 19 and 25 is forever burned into several million DVDs, there's no way she can ever look like she has aged well.
