This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it.
It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst.
It is the story of the end of an age.
A strange thing about stories—
Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time or the distance, it is also happening right now. Right here.
It is happening as you read these words

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, by Matthew Stover
Carrie Fisher behind the scenes of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
“Carrie was very funny and kept everyone entertained. She was able to boss those guys
around without looking silly. That was an important part of her
character, that she was the boss. And she was also shorter than
everybody else, but she handled that great.”
- George Lucas
