Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher remains hospitalized after suffering a massive heart attack Friday while traveling by plane to Los Angeles. Her brother, Todd, reported Saturday that she remained in intensive care. "We have to wait and be patient," he said. "We have so little information ourselves." Well wishes poured in for Fisher from fans and her Star Wars costars alike. Harrison Ford said he was "shocked and saddened" by the news, and Mark Hamill tweeted that he sends "all our love" her way. Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, also tweeted his thoughts and prayers for "everyone's favorite princess."
