I drove by at least one long, snaking line in Westwood, holding down the humiliating urge to screech, "Yes! I am Princess Leia Organa, come to tell you all, come to tell you all!" But what had I come to tell them? So I didn't say anything. I just stared in amazement and wondered what it would ultimately mean.
