Why We Love Her:

Princess Leia was the first crush for many a young boy back in the '70s when the first Star Wars movie came out. Many of our daydreams involved rescuing her from the clutches of Darth Vader, just like Luke and Han. Our adolescence went into overdrive in 1983 with Return of the Jedi, which featured Carrie in a slave-girl bikini in the palace of Jabba the Hutt. She even looked pretty good when the Ewoks gave her a new hairstyle. Natalie Portman may be the number-one Star Wars girl now, but Carrie Fisher will always be the first.
