Rest well, Carrie. We will miss you :'(

It’s a shame that she passed away so shortly after working so hard to get in shape for the new Star Wars.
I feel bad for her mother Debbie Reynolds. 🙁 Losing a child is so awful.

I’m devastated 🙁 RIP Carrie

The Force is out of balance now…… very sad indeed! RIP Carrie, we loved you!

True TheSkeletonMan939 🙁 :'(

Oh no! What’s going on? One after another passes away…
That’s terrible! 🙁 I feel very sad about these happenings!

RIP Carrie Fisher!

For anyone wondering how this affects the next Star Wars – I doubt it will. Fisher had completed all of her filming before her death.
I hope Disney has the taste to retire the character rather than blow her up in a plot-driven CGI explosion.

So….do what they did with Anton Yelchin in Star Trek Beyond on wards? That would seem ideal.

🙁 This is aweful.

When I saw her in TFA, she looked overweight for her age. Her history didn’t help. She looked like she was struggling to be healthier.

I was still happy to see her in the movie.

May the Force be with you..

I’m hoping they have Leia die peacefully off-screen then have her appear as a Force Ghost (either CGI or Archive Footage) at the end of Episode 9

A funny, straight-shooting gal who carried more than her fair share of monkeys on her back.

Think I’ll watch The ‘Burbs tonight.

True. But she put quite a few of those monkeys on there through her own actions.

I think you’re right. That’s the best to do with such a peaceful character and woman

True. But she put quite a few of those monkeys on there through her own actions.

Drugs. Alcohol. Debauchery. They’re sorta like dominoes. So what sets the first one in motion? Being born into Hollywood "Royalty", the bipolar…, worldwide fame at the age of 21? All of the above?

Perhaps an inability to forecast the consequences of your actions. You’d think someone born into Hollywood would learn from the numerous bad examples strewn around her.

But some folks have to put their hands on stove before they’ll believe it’s hot.

And to be fair, Fisher did suffer from bi-polar disorder. It’s very common for those afflicted to use drugs, alcohol or both to self medicate. Of course, she had access to medical resources many people lack.

Let’s not forget the timeworn battlecry of every addict: "I’ll never get hooked. It’ll never happen to me."

Other than reading about it, unless you’ve personally known or casually socialized with Hollywood Brats™/Trust Fund Kids you can’t appreciate the really warped bubble they live in and how few stopgaps exist on self-destructive behaviours.

The internet is teeming with wannabe know-it-alls who think they know everything. They throw out all kinds of pop psychology and armchair philosophy to justify their so-called superiority.

This forum has its fair share of people just like that, and it’s always the same few names responsible.

That is all I have to say.

Looks like somebody needs to go to their quiet place.

I’ve known a few kids from wealthy families. None were that disconnected from reality but they were certainly ignorant of the problems we mere mortals face on a daily basis.

🙁

"Rejoice, for they have joined the Force…"

Looks like somebody needs to go to their quiet place.

Didn’t want to name names but…thanks for stepping up.

I share your same sentiments as well, but it’s clear that I don’t have the skill to properly argue with these folk, nor do I think any attempt would do any good, seeing as they’ll stay the same regardless. I’d hate for someone to think I’m with them, but I’m only really here because I have good friends (3 to be exact) that I have good conversations with. Besides that, I just attempt to be as neutral as possible, seeing as a good word or two can be spoken out of these other folks.

Glad to have been of service; whatever service that happened to be… given you seem to lack the capacity for forthrightness.

Maybe in episode IX they will let Han and Leia be together in peace ben will have lost both parents to the hatred of the dark side and realize what Snoke is truly like.

So sad in a galaxy far away !

Fisher’s mother, Debbie Reynolds, has just been rushed to the hospital… she had a stroke, which I would guess was caused by the complete stress of the past few days. :ashine:

Given her advanced age I wouldn’t expect her to recover – at least not fully. But one can hope.

It has not been confirmed that she suffered a a stroke as yet. If that is what’s happened, there are different types of stroke that range from no lasting symptoms through to fatal; let’s hope if she has suffered a stroke, it’s the former type. I’m not sure I can handle another celebrity passing this year.

For the record I’ve never once associated you with the types I’m referring to.

Oh dear, not only Carrie passed away, but her mother Debbie also did. What a sad day…

Rest in Peace for both of them…

I can’t imagine what Billie Lourd is going through now 🙁 to lose her mother and her grandmother in the space of a few days and all during the Christmas/Hanukkah period

It’s terrible news. Devastating. I am very sorry for her.

I don’t want to think about it… I’m very concerned about Billie after these terrible events.
Very, very sad!! 🙁

Me too. Losing a mother and a grandmother in such a short time… I hope she manages to get through it. It is utterly devastating. 🙁

Did anyone else play ‘Leia’s Theme’ and cry about this?

That piece of music on its own has made me cry before. I can’t imagine what it’ll make me feel now.

I know Carrie Fisher was a great person who had a lot of personal demons…but that smile and the way she brought Leia to life and that character has been apart of my life for over 39 years…she’ll be missed.

Carrie. Our Dear Princess Leia. Dear, Carrie. You have become one with the Force. Kenny Baker, Sebastian Shaw and Alec Guinness will be there to unite with you after such a long time. We will Always Love You. You Are An Amazing Inspiration for All of Us. Thank you. The Force Will Be With You, Always.

Debbie Reynolds, may she Rest In Peace. Thank you.
