F*ck. Please be ok.

Wow Jesus! I'll be praying for her! :cry:

I hope she'll be okay.

Man, that's horrible. Unfortunate timing too.

Sucks that her former lifestyle is catching up to her.

Pull through, Carrie.

Looks like she's in stable condition, which is good news.

Thank the Maker! :D

Positive update. Hope she keeps improving.

why would that be?

Here's an exclusive update from her brother.

Any time is unfortunate timing. Jesus Christ.

I assume he is referring to the speculation that her character Princess Leia is speculated to have an increased role in Episode 9 which has not yet filmed. More importantly, its the fact it happened on December 23rd, immediately ahead of the Holidays.

It sounds optimistic. Her dad lived to 82 and her mom is still healthy at 84 so there is that to look to.

Well sh*t. Guess those reports about her being in stable condition jumped the gun.

Oh man, I hope she gets better. :(

With any luck, she won't be the last person 2016 takes from us.

She was on a plane, guys. Not exactly a hop & a skip away from the hospital.

Please don't take Princess Leia away from us too, 2016. :cry:

Christmas, perhaps?

What is in most people's mind and don't want to admit is that they expect her in Episode VIII and if she dies it'll affect the story. I know it's not the most sensitive thing to comment on but it's in a lot of people's mind and they're afraid to say it and the ones who do get reprisals but it's only humans. "What will happen to Ep.8?" Might not be the most tactful thing to ask as it's happening but it's a valid question, when exactly is the right time to ask? It's only logical and human that people are curious. That's the controversial question but it should be allowed to ask.

I also find the whole "stop 2016" thing stupid, yeah a lot of bad things happened this year but for example celebrity deaths are only going to become more and more common as all the superstars created by TV and modern cinema are growing older which wasn't the case before and probably won't be the case as much in the future as there aren't as many "superstars" like there were in the past.

Sorry about the rant but I got annoyed at twitter at people "honoring" Carrie Fisher with Star Wars quotes or "may the force be with her" but people asking what would happen with the new movie got flamed.

Especially as it's the holiday/rich foods aplenty season, here's some info regarding women and heart disease.

And yeah, it's kind of tacky af to be worried about a fictional story when someone's life is literally on the line.
Cope as you need to, but...cripes, consider your words.

Its a shame she did so much drugs when she was younger. She's only 60 years old which is still relatively young, and this really proves what drugs can do to you.

If she survives she may still suffer damage so we don't know if she'll make a full recovery.

I'm certainly not afraid to ask how this will affect Episode VIII. I've already come to the obvious conclusion that the story will have to be re-written if she dies. And like Cubed said, we don't know if she'll make a full recovery. So the story may get re-written regardless.

The writers are no doubt frantically putting something together right now in case the worst happens, if they haven't done so already.

Yeah, I feel you, but you know that's not what CyberCubed meant.

I'm tryna give the benefit of the doubt. :ohwell:

Big fan, that slave outfit in rotj is legend. Along with her hair buns lol.

I really hope she pulls though.

My best wishes for Carrie. I love her in The 'Burbs.

A woman's life hangs in the balance, there's more at stake here than the rewrites of a movie that'll likely be just as s*it as The Force Awakens

"A woman's life hangs in the balance", but you know, still gotta make sure you throw in your super edgy opinion on a movie in the same sentence.

The only reason so many people care about this woman's health is because of her role in these movies however. Thousands of people's lives hang on the balance after heart attacks every day.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. :P

Carrie's mum says she's in a stable condition again: https://twitter.com/DebbieReynolds1/...12672002723841

No, the obvious thing was "Force Awakens is s*it":P

Good for Carrie. Christmas miracle.

I was expecting a rude, Christmas booze-fuelled comeback. Instead you make me :lol:.

Atleast she's "stable" now. Losing Kenny Baker was bad enough. Thankfully, the force seems to be with her. :)

"Stable" just means that she's not actively dying. The fact that no one has stated anything more specific is not a good sign. I remain quite worried about the outcome of this. :tcry:

Don't be that guy, man. When someone is on a movie screen for years people will get used to them and feel a bit bothered when they see them suffering like this. Or you're telling me that a complete stranger getting cancer affects you harder than someone you see on v everyday and whose work you grew up admiring.

And for the record, I have never seen a movie with this woman nor had I any idea who she was before this thread was made.

What are you? :P

Don't answer that. :lol:

Chances are good you have seen a movie that she's worked on however. Fisher is a pretty famous script doctor.

Not knowing who Carrie Fisher is? What even...

Oh so she's the one who played Princess Leila in the original Star Wars movies. I honestly had never bothered to check the name of the actress who played her.

Guess she's one of those cases of someone famous whose face I knew but not her actual name. That tends to happen to me more often when it comes to musicians, however. I get a lot of those "oh so he's the one who sings this song!" moments.

Carrie Fisher has passed away. :cry:

R.I.P Carrie
