# You have missed so much..
..geekdom, I being 36 cannot begin to even explain

You are probably better off not knowing.

A previous girlfriend told me to sit down during a preview of The Phantom Menace, when I wanted to have a light-saber skirmish with a journalist with our programs.. She looked genuinely embarrassed. I still had my duel :)

# I understand Star Wars
I've been to conventions, I've met the (admittedly less well-known) cast members, I have my own light saber!

Carrie Fisher just never did anything for me.

# That might be because you are woman, but I catch your drift ;)
Note how she wasn't a 'blond bombshell' as the lead female role, and cast as yet another relatively unknown in the original movie. This was the original casting formula that worked so well Lucus seemed to have forgotten with his dodgy prequels. Leia was pretty, affirmative, and feisty; she didn't need to be a Hollywood beauty recognizable with time. Check the daft haircut he gave her. Statement or what!
