She shouldn't have talked trash about my guy Trump. No sympathy here, I prefer a reality without her in it.

Dude, that is just not nice.

" Star Wars " was hugely influenced by the 1954 Japanese film " The Seven Samurai "

As many others was hoping she'd pull through. Sad closing for the year. Even sadder still, it's not over yet and won't be even into the next year. Personally have lost two family this year(one from age and condition) and two are suffering from age related health issues.

W(ho)TF said you could crawl of the basket? Deplorable indeed. Go back to skulking dark corners.

RIP Carrie Fisher.

Oh man what a night

I took one of my service users (autistic) to see rogue one and half way through he needed a wee so as I was in the loo I got a text of my best mate telling me she has passed....on the way back to the screen I just broke down in tears streaming tears and my dude asked me why I was crying and I told him Princess Leia had died...He hugged me and said I will look after you which broke my heart even more and continued hugging and crying surrounded by many other people staring.
Anyhow I watched the rest of the movie cried when the robot died (again) and cried when everyone dies and when she came back on screen that was it I bawled, not alone though my autistic service user was crying also, I looked around and It wasn't just me quite a few were crying.
Anyhow she was the best princess ever and may the force be with her....always.
Thing is now while sad I feel great in a way crying is good for the soul.
RIP Carrie xxx.

The Carrie Fisher I knew was humble, unassuming and modest. I will always remember her as a friend of a friend who showed up one day for a pick-up softball game. She wore sweats, a dirty t-shirt, hair in a ponytail and drank beers with us after the games.

RIP, Princess.

At least she can meet up again with Peter Cushing because they really hit it off he called her "such a sweet girl" and she called him "ever so charming"..

I am watching a Peter Cushing film as you post. " Dr Terror's House Of Horror's ".
Also with a very young Donald Sutherland.

I don't understand how she got cleared to fly so soon after her initial cardiac issue.

Was wondering the same. Guess they underestimated her risk if that was in fact the defining factor.

People at low risk
The British Cardiovascular Society recommends that people who have very low risk of having another heart attack may be able to fly as early as three days after having one. You are considered to be at very low risk if:
this is your first heart attack
you are under 65
you have no complications
no further treatment is planned

The UK Civil Aviation Authority recommends that people with no complications, who are at low risk of another event, can fly seven to 10 days after a heart attack. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance says that most people with heart failure can travel by plane. However, during the flight, legs and ankles tend to swell and breathing may become more difficult for people with severe heart failure. Again, check with your GP or heart specialist before planning any air travel.

We will see her one last time in the next star wars movie she has filmed most of her scenes.

I saw the latest Star Wars movie on Christmas night. When I saw Princess Leia toward the end, I felt a tinge of sadness having known of her heart attack. Was hoping she would recover.

Rest in Peace.

Not that It matters now but she died in the air.


The news was already doing a epitaph that evening.

So sad! Last I heard she was in stable condition and then I got the alert on my phone and it stopped me in my tracks.

Rest in peace sweet princess.

Yet another piece of my late childhood.

I had such a crush on her... Brave. Beautiful. Smart. ...and it seems, she was like that in real life, too. All the more reason to miss her. It's not like the world ever has too many brave, beautiful, and smart people in it...does it?
