    When I see pictures of her from the late 70s/early 80s, her face is so familiar to me, and her eyes, smile and whole face were so, so beautiful, it feels like I'm looking at a picture of my mum or my sister or something, she feels that close to me even though I never knew her. I guess she must have been my first crush.

    Star Wars won't be the same without her. Not the time to be concerned with this but I can't help but wonder what, if any, her role was planned to be in Ep.IX

    First time I saw her was in Return of the Jedi, I was kid and it was one of my few Betamax tapes. She was radiant.

    All things concidered I was of the opinion that 2016 has been quite OK, but I was not expecting this.

    Had a chat with my lady about this last night. We're both miserable gits but we both agreed that the poor woman was probably better off. No parent wants to bury their children, some one spared her that agony.

    Poor woman :( and poor Carrie. One of my heroines, due to her having BPD and managing to have a successful career :)
