Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack

[Donner]

Seriously. What is wrong with people they feel the need to come into these kind of threads just to be *****?

I was thinking that, too. If people want to be pissed off at 2016, let them. No one has the right to say your grief over the passing of someone (anyone!) is overblown or obnoxious.

Daisey Ridley's statement:

Devastated at this monumental loss. How lucky we all are to have known her, and how awful that we have to say goodbye.

Felicity Jones' statement:

Such devastating news. I never met Carrie but consistently heard how profoundly sharp and witty she was. Her maverick spirit will be missed by us all.

 

[Dark Raven]

Anything from Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen or Ewan McGregor?

Dearest Carrie, so incredibly sad to say farewell so soon to such a beautifully honest and unique human being- see you in the multiverse.

We've lost our Princess.

Awesome. I was waiting to hear Campea's perspective.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Campea's vid got to me.

Campea's vid got to me.

Yeah, it's a good vid. It makes you think about how certain people have knowingly and unknowingly informed your personality, interests and life choices.

Tweet from Samuel L. Jackson:

The light in The Galaxy is dimmed by the loss of our Princess Leia. May The Force Be With Her!! RIP

The response there did make me laugh.

It was then that Drizzle shifted his Eye of Sauron-like gaze of hatred off Nickelback and diverted it to Smash Mouth.

So sad to see this but as I said in my first post on this thread just after her heart attack, I was very concerned by the time involved in getting her medical help and the fact that her not breathing and if it was true that it was cardiac arrest (her heart stopped) that the lack of oxygen to the brain for that amount of time may have meant if she had lived it would have been as an invalid. Or if there was significant damage to the heart muscle, that could cause other complications.

I was hopeful yet concerned by the reports that were coming out. Usually if someone has survived a heart attack they are at least alert after a catheterization has cleared the blockage. So reports that she was "stable" don't mean much if she wasn't fully alert or had significant brain and/or heart damage.

This is as significant a death to Star Wars as Leonard Nimoy was a couple years ago to Star Trek, but more tragic because she was so young, but I know first hand that it doesn't mean much as my mother passed at 62 to cancer. Even more-so I feel terrible for her family and friends, and send my deepest prayers and condolences.

My hope now is that the family have privacy so they can grieve for a loved one. I am glad that we got to see her one last time as the princess we grew up with.

God speed Carrie!

I made the mistake of checking out Andi Gutierrez's twitter. Lost it again.

2016 has been the worst year for celebrity deaths though.

This was real devastating to learn upon waking up. Rest in peace Carrie. May the force be with you.

 

[C. Lee]

Ill' make it simple.....this thread is for people to express their grief about the passing of Carrie Fisher....if part of their expressing this grief is to shout their hate for 2016...that is their perogative. The next person who *****es about someone saying this gets infracted for trolling.

It's just rather silly to blame a year, a simple group of numbers as a representation to a period of 365 earth cycles, like that. 2016 has nothing to do with it. People die, but it happens regardless of the year.

Carrie Fisher contributed a lot and all, her works should be celebrated and she will be missed but it is kinda insensitive to people who lost real loved ones to say "F 2016" because of random celebrity deaths.

Do you realize how many stars have been taken in the last THREE DAYS alone? In the last HOUR another two have been reported to have passed. It's up to I think SEVEN in celebs ALONE, all in different fields that have inspired hundreds at a MINIMUM. Yes, I still morn a brother who was EIGHT years young than I am, and passed in 2014, it helps to blame SOMETHING. For many of us the people who have been taken this year were childhood heroes an inspiration of some sort to get them to where they are today.
Carrie was just one of the more popular of the stars to have passed this year it's easy to take out aggression felt on a THING than on SOMEONE and move on, other than it being a fact we're at a record loss of stars

JJ Abrams handwritten note regarding Carrie's passing:

Plus a tweet from Rian Johnson:

Seperate note, why is JJ's handwriting that of a cartoon character? Beautiful note but man oh man.

Pretty sure it isn't his normal handwriting. But he uses it for the notes he post. I think it is rather beautiful. Both the handwriting and especially the words.

She was awesome in Blues Brothers.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Blues Brothers is one of my father's favorite films. So I ended up watching it a lot as a kid, and of course ended up loving it as well. One thing that confused my very young mind was Princess Leia dating someone other then Han.

Some people expected Ford to be silent or say something not nice.

I find that strange.

Only 60 years, but a pretty full life.
R.I.P. Carrie.
