Read this article on salon.com about Carrie Fisher's new book, and it linked to an old archival thing about star wars geeks, written around the time of the 'Phantom Menace.'
here's the carrie fisher one...

You want funny and sad you need to check out her performance on the Star Wars Christmas special.

Oh, I did...first run, at that. I had vague half-memories of it ever since, and then downloaded it about a year ago. Holy crap! That show was BAD!! First appearance of (cartoon) Boba Fett and all, it was terrrrrrible.
Irene Cara, for chissakes? Yikes!
Still though I remember being STOKED on it as a four year old. Yeah, Chewie's Family! Go, go! (Proto-ewoks I guess...that's where Lucas must've first got with the idea of furry midgets as a way to sell more toys.)
