Last Christmas 2008, Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher in real life) was invited by Michael's dermatologist to spend Christmas at his rented Holmby Hills mansion in LA. It was widely reported that Michael and his children love the Star Wars saga.

During that meeting she happily gave a reprise of her role as "Princess Leia" to the beaming kids.

This is what Carrie Fisher had to say in her blog:

I visited him over the Christmas holiday at that weirdly expensive rental home somewhere here in Southern Cal. What's odd is that I see fans laying flowers in front of homes that I don't think Michael ever lived in. But then this whole scene is odd.Here's the thing though--I saw Michael multiple times with his children and thought that he was a very good father. Not only based on seeing him with his children, but also based on his children themselves. They are very well behaved, respectful children, who seemed content in Michael's company. I mean, I doubt if Michael cooked for them or parented them in ways that might be considered conventional, but you could see how much he loved them and how much they loved him. I do NOT believe that Michael did anything untoward to not only his children, but to any other child. He was a child himself. I never in any way viewed him as someone who was capable of doing what they accused him of doing. He was devoted to his family and doted on them. In a town where you more often see children of celebrities with their nannys and in the care of others, I never saw anything like that with Michael and his children. I would say he was a hands on parent, but with the press and some of the public being as they are, I wouldn't want to say anything that could be interpreted in any way other than the loving scene that I observed between his 3 children and himself. And I stand to gain nothing in stating this.
Michael was one of the sweetest souls I've ever encountered. He was generous and polite. And where you might expect to see children that were pampered and spoiled, his children showed none of this.
