R.I.P. Carrie Fisher

By Crabbok, in X-Wing Off-Topic

you have got to be kidding me.

I wish I was kidding. Really wish I was. My wife called me to tell me - and I almost accused her of lying to me. I thought she was stable. I thought she was safe. She was only 60. That is too young for this.

Episode 8 is going to be incredibly emotional now.... I'm literally going to cry the entire film. It will probably be delayed I'm willing to bet. I've heard that most of her scenes had been filmed, but I can't even guess what impact this is going to fully have there...

I just don't even have the right words. Can't even process it yet.

....

Sad news indeed, may she rest in peace...

I still wanna go and punch something tough...This fukkin year...

R.I.P. Carry Fisher.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of fans suddenly cried out in sadness and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Rest in peace Carrie Fisher.

Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Absolutely.

Kenny Baker, the fella that voiced Ackbar and the actor who was the stormy who bumped his head on the Death Star also passed away this year.

Can we blame 2016. No. We blame the passing of time. As with Bowie, Lemmy, Rickman ,etc .. all of these folk were in their prime 20-30 years ago. It's kind of expected that some of our childhood heroes will start to age and have to deal with the side effects.

Not to be too pedantic, but to save anyone else the trouble of Googling, you want to use commas like this:

"Kenny Baker , the fella that voiced Ackbar , and the actor who was the stormy who bumped his head on the Death Star also passed away this year."

Otherwise, one might think you mean that Kenny Baker voiced Ackbar and played the Stormtrooper who bumped his head.

And now her mother too....

You're referring to the Oxford comma (also known as the Harvard comma in some circles) which is completely optional. Granted, in this situation it may have added further clarity.

To save people the effort of googling:

1. Kenny Baker

2. The fella that voiced Ackbar

3. Stormy who bumped his head

R.I.P. guys!

Episode 8 is finished filming and they've proven they can sufficiently replace actors with CGI stand ins. Obviously Disney had her killed to avoid having to pay her anything more.
