Carrie Fisher dead at 60

[LOC Veteran]

Sigh, I guess 2016 just had to take one more from us. RIP Carrie Fischer, you'll be missed.

I wonder how this will affect the next two Star Wars movies?

Episode VIII was already shot supposedly.

Quote

What you'll have of me after I journey to that great Death Star in the sky is an extremely accomplished daughter, a few books, and a picture of a stern-looking girl wearing some kind of metal bikini lounging on a giant drooling squid, behind a newscaster informing you of the passing of Princess Leia after a long battle with her head.

Dammit 2016, you just couldn't let it go yet, could you. 

 

RIP, Your Worshipfulness. You were great, and we loved you.

Rest in Peace, Ms. Fisher.  Thank you for inspiring me during a dark time in my life.

We could but than it will be 2017 and Donald will be charge.

And only took to the second page to turn her death into some way to spout out something political.

It was...filming  finished in July.  Of course they'll probably have to adjust the film a bit to "send her out" in a dignified way... if they hadn't already in 8. 

 

Sad either way...2016 has been hard on celebrities especially Star Wars (Carrie is the fourth)

OMG it's not, really...

They need to put her in the next Star Wars movie as one of the Force's figures.

 

Dang. That sucks. I've lost another childhood memory. I grew up watching Star Wars, almost daily.

my wife read an article just moments ago they will explain Princess leia's death in Part 9.

Since filming is already done for episode 8 then they don't have to do any CGI stuff unless it's some needed reshoots but I haven't heard anything about them doing any at this point in time. 

 

It still messes things up for what they can do afterwards. 

Unless Leia's character dies in 8.

Carrie Fisher's mom, the lovely Debbie Reynolds (Singin' in the Rain, Unsinkable Molly Brown, Broadway entertainer, etc.) , has been hospitalized and Todd Fisher says that she "is not OK."  Reported as a possible stroke.

Losing Carrie hit her so hard she had a stroke and at her age that's something that is very hard to survive, grief is a powerful thing, this isn't the first time you hear about loved ones passing shortly after one another, mostly is a wife dying after their husband etc, but same applies here you could say.
