I just hate how there has to be a word for everything. Just sounds like SJW-speak. Would you rather there be no words and just sounds? I'm thoroughly confused. Never seen anyone complain about a language having words before. Henry B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,646 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I guess I'm the only one failing to see the significance of her passing while living on planet earth in 2016. My sympathy to her close family, but the rest of us should really grieve for and worry about things, other than an excavated former movie star, a shoehorned role in 2015, and the sad look back to old masturbation fantasies.

Popular Post crumbs 14,364 Posted December 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2016 Rest in peace, Carrie. You were far too young and I'll miss your wicked humour and spark. What a gift from John Williams that we have three Leia-centric themes from the original trilogy. They are certainly getting repeat plays right now. 12 minutes ago, gkgyver said: My sympathy to her close family, but the rest of us should really grieve for and worry about things, other than an excavated former movie star, a shoehorned role in 2015, and the sad look back to old masturbation fantasies. What right do you have to dictate what others should and shouldn't grieve over? She touched many lives for one reason or another, she inspired with words and inspired with acting. She will be dearly missed by many, as evidenced by the outpouring of grief. airmanjerm, Koray Savas, Cerebral Cortex and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 My brother wonders if they'll get someone else who looks like her to replace her in Episode 9. To be honest I really hope they do like what they did for Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek Beyond. That there was the best tribute for Leonard and they need to do something similar for Carrie. airmanjerm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas probably reinserted some of his lines back during shooting, like "I'm a person and my name is Anakin!" And I doubt Fisher would've done anything useful with Jar-Jar Binks. She probably would've written him out, since he offered little impact on the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 9 hours ago, Uni said: At nineteen years of age, she played a person of authority with more gusto and pure cajones than most male actors did in those days (and still do, come to think of it). She was always older and smarter than her years. It's unfortunate the toll that her personal issues took on her, but she showed amazing character (and more cajones) by turning her experiences into words that others could share, understand, and relate to. These are cajones: I think the word you're looking for is "cojones". But, yes, agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem that, after this distressing event, many are finding some sort of solace in William's music. Both the LSO and the Boston Pops shared their recordings of the theme yesterday. Which made me think: In my opinion, Leia's theme belongs in any list, however short, of Williams's best themes. But it's really closely tied to not just the character, but the actress playing the character as well, so much so that lots of people immediately posted it after Fisher's death. But that must work both ways: Imagine someone else had been cast as Princess Leia. Wouldn't the theme have been quite different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Probably not. Because the theme doesn't really fit the character much at all. But far more Luke's idea of her when he views the hologram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
