Apparently it was Cardiac Arrest that caused her death this morning.

When all of the trio is gone, I honestly don't think I can stomach rewatching the OT anymore.

I already get sad watching them, knowing that time can not be escaped. There's a melancholy that comes from viewing them that I can't explain.

Harrison Ford is 74. Hopefully he still has another decade at least in him.

Can you imagine 20 years from now? No one will be left. I'll be f*cking 35.

Why does it have to be this way? I feel like Cybercubed.

When I first watched Star Wars as a kid I thought it was a super old movie and figured most people who made it were dead so I was shocked when we started getting a bunch of SW stuff in the mid 90s. To me anything from the 80s was old and if it was before the 80s it was ancient times and couldn't even imagine people living in those eras.

The thing is all the big name movie stars, actors and singers from the 80's, 90's and prior were already in their late 20's or 30's during that time. So naturally we're 20 years later...so they aged 20 years.

The difference for us is we were all kids at the time, so we aged into adults. But they were already adults back then...so they aged into middle age and became elderly. This is why people keep saying, "Why are so many dying in 2016?" when in reality its because many of these people have in fact aged alongside us.

Its a real shame to see people dying at only 50-60 years old, that really should not happen nowadays.

Young or old will die regardless. Heath Ledger died young while Betty White still lives. It's pointless to worry that the old people might die anytime soon when in reality the young could die anytime too.

That's God's power if one would ponder and think.

Rest in peace Carrie!

She is one with the Force now.
I'm devastated by this news, and wonder if 2016 will take more heroes from us!

I'll gladly watch 2016 die on December 31, 11:59:59 pm

Not to be grim, but people will die in 2017 too. And every year after that.

I see this posted everywhere on the internet, but people aren't going to magically stop dying once 2016 ends. I fear we're in for another round of celebrity deaths next year.

If someone actually cares, it's their own goddamn fault.

I'm getting more and more problems with imagining myself before getting broadband and when having a mobile telephone just for calling and maybe taking photographs.

In the next years it's likely that guys like Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, etc. might get very ill and eventually die. Clint Eastwood I believe is already 85-86 years old. he ha already surpassed Japan's male life expectancy(83 years old) which is the highest in the world.

I'm sure Christian Bale will be here. And Hugh Jackman. They're not exactly geezers.

35? Pfft big deal. I'll be 46.

Yep. Honestly this whole "2016 worst year ever" seems to be a gross exaggeration by the internet. Short memory span too. Every year you have celebrities dying.

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

You can see where they're coming from though, there's been a lot of celebrity deaths this year.

Yeah, Disney might use incorporate that moment into the reason for her character's passing.

So I've been going through youtube watching old Carrie Fisher interviews from the mid-80's and early 90's from talk shows, and man, is it just me or did Carrie age rather quickly? One interview was from 1987, only 4 years after Return of the Jedi came out, and she looked nearly double her age. Was that the effect of drug use when she was younger?

I notice a lot of people were shocked Carrie was only 60 when she passed away because a lot of people wrongly assumed she was nearly 70.
