I just bought my 6 year old the original Star Wars trilogy box set for Christmas (I was 6 when it came out in '77), we've watched the original Film and Empire Strikes Back together so far...I was reminded what a beautiful woman she was.
RIP

This is crazy, what a year.

I'm numb

Fuck sake. I was looking forward to how she was going to do in the next Star Wars film. Such a shame

Oh man... just read yesterday that her condition slightly improved. RIP

I've just been to see Rogue One as well... A very sad day.

Oh dear. She was one of the first women I had a crush on at a young age.

Another one. Fuckin ell. So many good people, in such a short space of time. Just in the last four days, we've lost Rick Parfitt, George Michael, Liz Smith, Carrie Fisher and Richard Adams, the author of Watership Down. Just ridiculous.

I know there are those who will say that this the shape of things to come, but I really, really hope not - the sheer number of people as well as the vast spread of ages, from that young band in their 20s (my apologies to them and their fans for forgetting their name) to Richard Adams at 96, with such a wide spread of reasons, from accident to heart failure and cancer, that this must surely be an anomaly, and bollocks to statistical averages.

Same here- most of us in the 40-50 age group I reckon.

Definitely. As a 16 year old, I adored her.

Also one of the first postive images of a strong woman in a film that I can remember. Another part of my childhood has now died.

She was so hot in the scene with Jabba the hut! She was more than just an attractive girl, she led a fascinating life and was a real character. Such a shame.
