R.I.P. Carrie Fisher
Crying as I write this. I knew it was coming after the news of her heart attack before Christmas, but knowing that, anticipating that finality, somehow didn't lessen the blow of truly losing her. I've talked before about how important and life-impacting Star Wars was to me (and my family) in 1977, and how the universe and films continued to shape and fill my life after that. Princess Leia has been a huge part of that. If anything, I loved her more in Force Awakens than I had in the original trilogy. I'd follow Princess Leia into any battle for the Rebellion, anywhere, anytime. As Max Von Sydow's character said in Force Awakens, "To me, she's royalty."
This is a very sad day.
Rest in Peace.

I just got the news, too -- so sad. I almost cried, as well. Thanks for the tribute post.
Star Wars was formative in my youth, too. Our family would have Star Wars marathons. My brothers had the toys. I had a few toys of my own, but usually just played with my brothers' toys.
I loved Carrie in other movies, too. She's terrific with Tom Hanks in "The Burbs." And she was also a fantastic writer. May she RIP.
"I love you." "I know."
Does she know, now, how much we all loved her?
I hope so.
Rest in peace, Princess Leia.
