This year has been pretty abysmal for celebrity/athlete deaths, starting with David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Prince, Muhammed Ali, Gordie Howe, Anton Yelchin, wrestling's Mr. Fuji, Kenny Baker (R2-D2) to more recently George Michael and now Carrie Fisher. I hope that 2017 makes up for such a sad year that 2016 has turned out to be. This post has been edited by BOZZ on Dec 27 2016, 06:10 PM |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Made worse by the incredibly divided social space. I saw a tweet today that disregarded her death because "the bitch was white". I've been raised to celebrate their life upon a person's death, instead of mourning (for very long) and being depressed. Thankfully, her work on Episode VIII has already been filmed, so we'll get to see her again next year. Because of her place in pop culture history, there is a wealth of content to look through and get to know the woman behind the hair buns. She's been interviewed extensively. Watch those. Watch Star Wars. Read her recent book. Through those things she left behind for us, she is immortalized. Great Disney Princess, or Greatest Disney Princess? |

You know that every year in your life may as well be sad since famous people die literally every year? Time as a unit of measurement didn't kill these people, and natural order isn't going to arbitrarily change just because the date changes year. 2017 will be more of the same, just different names.

Where did you get that idea? Pretty sure it was suggested to go back and watch her stuff. | ||

Yeah, apparently her last words, according to her son, were that she wants to be with Carrie. | ||
