Good God a Bear Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I really hope Mark and Carrie have a scene together in VIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Me too. Oscar Isaac posted a picture of Mark and Carrie on Facebook (along with a lovely tribute). Not certain if it's from TFA or VIII, but it looks like VIII based on the costumes. And if they were in costume at the same time... *crossing fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I hope this isn't an inappropriate time to bring this up, but people like me are very fortunate that the sequel movies do not matter to us, especially in times like this. Our version of Leia lived a long, satisfying life. I hope that we can campaign for next year's Black Series action figure to be Jedi Leia. (We've already successfully made Darth Revan and Jaina Solo winners last year and this year. I just picked up my Revan two weeks ago!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yes, this definitely seems like the appropriate place to remind us that you don't pay attention to the sequel trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Palpatine Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It sucks to think that Episode 8 will be dedicated to Kenny Baker and Carrie Fisher. Both very important to my childhood....and adulthood for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I actually hope she was supposed to die here in Episode VIII that way her death can have the appropriate dramatic weight. If she was supposed to survive it then her death could feel obligatory or forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerimar Nyliram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 . . . Okay, maybe that was a little off the beaten path.You know, random paths through the woods are actually really fun to explore. You never know what you might find. I once found a log, which I then picked up and found a twig underneath. I was like, "Aww, the log had a baby!"See? The there I go again. It's easy for me to lose focus.

Lord Darth Hunter Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I really hope Mark and Carrie have a scene together in VIII.I was thinking the same thing. It'd be a shame if they didn't. It would just give me one more reason to hate TFA even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I came into the thread when she was in ICU, but I've been sick again so I haven't had the energy to do anything. Some celebrity deaths you don't care about, some you do and others feel like a close friend died. I think the one thing that united this community since 1999 is our insatiable love for all things OT. We branched out to probably a hundred different specialty forums by now, ranging from Sports, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Politics (I'm scared to go in there now - the place must be crazy these days) and the greatest forum of all time: The Arena. But again, the common thread was Star Wars. I was praying she would recover but it was just her time and I'm very, very sad - especially how things have turned around for her in the past 4-5 years! Very sad.Derek (Stool) and I worship Ben Folds and he has this song called "The Luckiest." If you're not familiar, it's a sweet-but-sad love ballad and I highly recommend putting it into YouTube and give it a listen. Anyway, the last verse in the song tells the story of an old married couple and when the husband died, the wife died shortly after, pretty much lost the will to live (But not that stupid crap like Padme ). Here are the lyrics to the verse: Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties and one dayPassed away in his sleep.And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days and passed away.I'm sorry I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know... we belong. The reason this song comes to mind is the passing of Debbie Reynolds, just ONE DAY LATER after Carrie. You read about these things happening all the time so there HAS to be something to it, right? It happened in my family recently. Besides the obvious assumption that it makes me sad, it also makes me think. Each day I go back and forth about the existence of God, heaven & hell, creation vs evolution and mainly what makes us US - and I can't imagine I'm alone here. Mostly purpose of life type thoughts and is there a metaphysical being to us or more simply: Is the concept of having a soul real or not? Is it possible that Debbie's body couldn't handle the stress (autopsy revealed a busted vessel in the brain was CoD) or... did the body just physically manifest the feeling that part of her soul was now dead? I don't know but that's all I've been thinking about since Dec 28th and frustrated that there's not a damn way for me to get concrete answers.  Anyway - great to see familiar faces avatars again even though the circumstances are sad. Hope you're all doing well, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks for that lovely post, Rock. I can help with some of those theological questions, if you'd like. In my opinion, the whole "creation-versus-evolution" argument is a non-issue, and the Church Fathers are great at explaining the nature of Heaven and Hell (it's basically not the mythological setting that you might imagine).

Filthy Jawa Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Can I just say, I returned to Nightly partly to see what the response would be here and to share in this moment of sadness with like-minded people. Â I was also a little curious to see if there would be a thread called "Carrie Fisher won't be coming down for breakfast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't think I ever blew up, but maybe I did. And I didn't mandate any change, anyone can do it at any time. But I'm still going to say that it is bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerimar Nyliram Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I wouldn't want to be the one to say something off-color about Carrie Fisher, but somehow I think she would have appreciated such dark humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
