Ok, first of all, this was the BEST Luke I have ever met (ok, the only one but wow he was awesome). The picture doesn't do him justice. He was so in character and quite nice to look at. Sounded just like Luke. Anyway…I was not going to get any character pictures this trip but when I saw him out, I couldn't resist and got in line. He was amazing.
The next day, I decided to see if I could meet Leia. It took me a few tries (and a second visit with Luke...which I didn't mind at all) and I finally got to meet her.
Princess Leia was so pretty and sweet. She asked me about Pepe and I told her he was a King Prawn. She then asked what "system" he came from and I told her he was from the coast of Spain...at least that is what it said in his book. She was surprised to hear he had a book and I said yes, he is a very famous prawn.
She then asked me about my pins and I told her I normally was not a pin collector but had to buy the starter kit because there was a Luke pin and Luke was my favorite character. She said he was quite a favorite with the ladies and I said 'yes, he's very charming.' (Still Star Struck with my meeting with him at the time, lol) She chuckled and said that she would tell him I said that but then said she may not because she didn't want the flattery to go to his head. I said, no, we wouldn't want that.
After a quick hug, she told me to to have a wonderful day and I told her good luck with the rebellion. This was probably one of the best interactions with a character I have ever had. Leia is now a favorite of mine.
