In memory Carrie Fisher

I've deleted all of the posts from the initial and essentially irrelevant discussion. People are entitled to their opinions, and if their opinion is that they don't care, then fine, however coming into this thread to say "I don't care" is no more a propos of this topic than it would be in any thread on the forums, mod related or otherwise, and will therefore be treated in the same way.

The Atlantic's memorial article, for those interested in reading it.  She was involved in a lot more than I'd realized.

And here's Empire Magazine's tribute (http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/carrie-fisher-empire-tribute/).

I didn't realise she helped with damage limitation on George's prequel scripts as well!  :o

Never ask a woman's age.
And the best answer to this question is always 18+tax

Just came across this:

Leia Organa: A Critical Obituary (https://mobunited.wordpress.com/2016/12/28/leia-organa-a-critical-obituary/)

Note that this is written from an in-universe new-canon perspective so I believe it contains spoilers (including Rogue One).
