The Star Wars community is feeling the loss of Carrie Fisher, the actress who brought Princess Leia to life.  Without her attidude, spirit, devotion to her fans, and real approach to the character, we would not have the Princess Leia we know and love today.

In an effort to pay tribute to her, we are asking for anyone who wants to share with us their thoughts about Carrie Fisher to leave us a voice mail. You can let us know your favorite Princess Leia moment, how she has impacted your life through her character, what she meant to you personally, or just a message about how she will be missed.  It does not have to be related to Star Wars: Destiny, though it can be if you so choose.

Messages left with us may be used in our next episode of The Chance Cube.
