RIGHT ON THE FEELS
:(
Do you ever
Do you ever just, like, you read something, and it’s really good, and funny, and sad, and strange, and beautiful, and it’s just–it’s just not anywhere in the vacinity of doing something that could matter to you, because it’s about. It’s about other people. And you could see, you could see so easily, why it would matter to the people it’s about, why it would be important, why–
And rather than loving it even though it’s slightly not your thing–because man it is. Super easy to love. Mad easy. It’s that good
But the only reaction you can have is “fuck you. Why doesn’t this exist for me. Why hasn’t someone written something this funny, this sad, this strange, this beautiful, this exactly what I’m looking for
for me”
legends only, my friends. legends only
she didn’t actually have it made for that purpose, she had it around the house and it was her favorite thing so her brother, who knows his sister very very well, decided to put her ashes in it
Only way Carrie could go out even more awesomely was thanks to her equally awesome brother, Todd.
The lengths I would go to hear her laugh — there were no limits. I loved her and loved making her laugh. She would do these crazy things and make me do these crazy things, but I really don’t think they were crazy after all. In a way, it was a defense mechanism for her. She was so off the wall, she could use it as protection. Part of what was so poignant about her was that she was vulnerable, that there was this glimmer of a little girl that was so appealing and it roused the protective nature in my personality.
I’m grateful that we stayed friends and got to have this second act with the new movies. I think it was reassuring to her that I was there, the same person, that she could trust me, as critical as we could sometimes be with each other. We ran the gamut over the years, where we were in love with each other, where we hated each other’s guts. “I’m not speaking to you, you’re such a judgmental, royal brat!” We went through it all. It’s like we were a family.
When you were in her good graces, you couldn’t have more fun with any person on the planet. She was able to make you feel like you were the most important thing in her life. I think that’s a really rare quality. And then you could go 180 degrees opposite, where you were furious with one another and wouldn’t speak for weeks and weeks. But that’s all part of what makes a relationship complete. It’s not all one sided. Like I say, she was a handful. She was high maintenance. But my life would have been so much drabber and less interesting if she hadn’t been the friend that she was.
Leia was at Scarif, she saw the Death Star fire, saw how the explosion rippled outward, gradually consuming the planet. People who weren’t right at the center of the explosion had time to evacuate, and maybe distant parts of the planet were even still habitable.
Imagine her shock when a single shot reduced Alderaan to rubble in mere seconds.

George Lucas, Harrison Ford Issue Statements on Carrie Fisher’s Death
Earlier today, Carrie Fisher passed away following her heart attack last week. In light of this news, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas and her co-star Harrison Ford released statements addressing her death and offering their condolences for her family.
“Carrie and I have been friends most of our adult lives. She was extremely smart; a talented actress, writer, and comedienne with a very colorful personality that everyone loved,” Lucas said in a statement. “In ‘Star Wars,’ she was our great and powerful princess — feisty, wise and full of hope in a role that was more difficult than most people might think. My heart and prayers are with Billie, Debbie and all Carrie’s family, friends and fans. She will be missed by all.”

Millions fell in love with her as the indomitable Princess Leia; she will always have a special place in the hearts of ‘Star Wars’ fans as well as all of us who were lucky enough to know her personally. She will be sorely missed, and we join millions of fans and friends around the world who mourn her loss today.”
