'Princess Leia -WHO?'' ..... SINCE YOU ASKED:'''

9, WEIRD THINGS about "coming to life" after 40+ years of living in severe amnesia, to discover you’re actually a movie character. (Hey, this would make a good movie, wouldn't it?)

'*1)'Try getting a driver's license with the real name, Princess Leia Lucas''. First, there’s stunned silence. Then, they laugh.  I wait, until the questions start.  Then … “No,  I don’t look like Carrie Fisher”, (except for my lack of height, which I make up for in ferocity, little over-breed dog that I am). “No, my last name isn’t Organa,” (for the organza fabric dress I loved as a child. Georgie made this attached to me permanently. Gotta love him). “Why Yes, Lucas is my real maiden name, AND my international married name in countries where I’m of royalty. Well, because I’m not sure if the U.S. ceremony was legal. Yes, I really DO need to drive a  car, and yes, right here on planet earth. No, I DON'T co- pilot the warship with Han Solo. But, I’d be happy to pilot YOU into outer-space, any time you like!”  Seriously, have you dealt with the DMV?

** 2) Everyone laughs when I introduce myself. Then they look around asking for Darth, Chewie and the gang, and laugh at their own cleverness. I wait. Eventually, they ask again,  “So, what’s your real name?” I answer.....then wait for it... Yep, We do the whole thing again. I raise one eyebrow and smile back. I’m now counting to see who can do the most bad jokes. Finally they stop laughing, and there’s this uncomfortable silence. I wait. I stare. And then they offer, "What? I don't think I heard you…correctly."  (Really? What planet are you on?!).


 * 3) When I introduce myself to Star WarsItalic text fan clubs and groups, they tend to respond with, “Yeah, we're all Star Wars characters here, no problem”. “No, I mean I REALLY AM Princess Leia Lucas for real.”. “Oh. Well. Actually, we already have plenty of Princess Leia's in this group. We don’t really need another one.”  .....And THANK YOU ALL, so very much, for your kind understanding.  (I am SOOOO not kidding!)


 * 4) After I say my name, older guys tend to give me this knowing smirk, then they ask this now mature lady, "Hey, did you actually wear that metal bikini thing, huh"? NO!  I did NOT!  .....It was a yellow bikini, with brass rings around it.  I swear!  Can I help it if Georgie exaggerates!?


 * 5) People tend to ask me if I actually wore the famous Kaiser-Roll hairdo. I tell them the truth, saying, “Yes, I did when I was younger”. Then they typically question, “Did you do this for a reason?” Apparently my strange fashion sense needs further explanation. Where upon I explain, “ I was working undercover for the Director of the FBI, (for real), and used the hairdo to cover the spiral wire hanging from my left ear.” Now there's a pause. After this, people younger than me (such as my daughter) give me this highly confused look, whereupon they ask, "Why didn’t you just use your cell phone, or Bluetooth?”


 * 6) Business executives typically ask me how much money I’ve made from all the Star Wars movies -and licensing fees and all, after so many years. Gosh. Let me think. Hmmmmm…..That would be…..um… NOTHING (!), nada, nichts, niente, netchego, not a red cent!  You get the idea. It’s a small world after all.


 * 7) The Georgie I knew always wanted to be Robin Hood, running off with Maid Marian, to steal from the rich, and give to the poor. Well, let’s see. Robin. He did fly around, a lot, but I don’t remember seeing any red breasts. Next. Hood. Um. Honestly, he doesn’t wear enough head covering to make a decent Jew, let alone a hoodlum. But, Georgie now runs around with Mellody, which gets the letters “M” and “d” right, (hey, that’s something!). And, Georgie did make a lot of  money, but basically - for already rich guys, (like him).  However, I DO work like a maid myself,  only, as per usual, I don’t get paid didley squat. So much for “giving to the poor”.


 * 8) People DO ask me if Georgie responds to the many letters I’ve sent him in recent years, (beyond the arrest threat his security department sent over). Let’s see……. well, …….he, kind of….No. Nope, nada, nichts, niente, netchego....  BUT, apparently Georgie still knows me on a flat screen - that's struggling to be "The Force Awakens".  Hmmmm. He'll have to do this alone. I'm not touching this one.


 * 9) Many fans ask me how I feel about being "an aging Sex Toy". Well….actually, I’m an aging neuroscientist running 4-four foundations that are building machinery to use complex Brain Transmission Therapies -that aid trauma survivors with recovery. (See www.localcommunities.org/IFNBT). “Hey guys - that's a different kind of arousal." And, it’s also hard -to explain this to men, if you know what I mean.
