D-Ray Kenobi Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I met Carrie super briefly around five or so years ago. She was at DragonCon in Atlanta, I went to see her and a few other actors at the Star Wars panel. This was before The Force Awakens was even a thing and she was in very much a "I don't give a f***" mode. She told a bunch of hilarious and obscene stories about everything, she was very much the firecracker everyone always says. I slipped out a little early before the panel was over and went through a back hall that I thought would be a shortcut to go meet my wife who was at something else. Carrie and her assistant came out of a back door just as I was walking by. I was kind of flabbergasted and reverted to awkward geeky fanboy, but still somehow got out something sane along the lines of "Hi Miss Fisher, that was really funny, thanks for coming to see us." She kind of looked at me bizarrely as if she was sizing me up or something and then said something like "No sweetie, thank you for being you!" Then she was gone just as quickly.That little exchange must have lasted about only ten seconds, but I thought about it a lot the past few days. I am so heartbroken she is gone way too soon, but at the same time I am beyond happy that the world got so many good years of such a badass hilarious woman.

the trumpet player 2 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I've never been really all that bothered about the passing of a celebrity, but I'm absolutely gutted over this. RIP Princess x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerimar Nyliram Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I hate to point this out, but Leia's fictional mother, Padre, died of a broken heart, as did Carrie Fisher's real-life mother, Debbie Reynolds.

What's to complain about if they write her out of Episode IX (or even Episode VIII) and dedicated the next movie to her? Even a quick death just after the opening scroll aided by the Tarkin treatment would be acceptable. Pretty much anything short of recasting her as a younger big-boobed blonde would be just fine. Of course, Carrie would probably approve of THAT as well.

Guest Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 There'll be a guy somewhere who complains about it being dedicated to a woman, and then there will be tens of people complaining about how there's a huge movement against women and so on.

The Kurgan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's too bad Carrie did not live to see the series completed. This would have lent a sense of a life's work having been complete, and she deserved to see and be a part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
