    She was one funny lady, could have been a stand up comic. I don't like Oprah, but here's an interview with her and Carrie's mother Debbie Reynolds.

    I just saw her somewhat convincingly CGI'd into the new rogue one movie...

    Perhaps she will live on in further re-tellings of that saga... I think they even used her actual dialogue (old or new, not sure).

    sad , she was one of the fearless actors who back in the 70s , when Star Wars was a big gamble for the studios and the movie circles , she took it on , killed it , and made princess lea , one of the more respected roles in the trilogy ... very convincing part she played ... may the force be with you Carrie ...

    Star Wars first trilogy influenced my young life decades ago and especially this scene among others:
    Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

    and its soundtrack
    Star Wars Episode VI: Victory Celebration


    As my Dacian ancestors I will not shed a tear and I will enjoy of her departure because she is now in a better world from where she will came back STRONGER.

    As I know,Mrs. Carrie Fisher already filmed her scenes for Star Wars VIII and I hope that at least this movie would deserve a second watch,because Disney's Star Wars I,II,III and VII were deplorable.

    George Lucas gave a BIG deserved slap to Disney with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
