Andy 60 Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Carrie Fisher has apparently had a major heart attack on a flight back to LA from London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38423963 Apparently she wasn't breathing and was taken to hospital in a critical condition. Here's hoping she is okay! Edited December 23, 2016 by Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted December 24, 2016 No, 2016. You are NOT allowed to take anyone else. Nor you, 2017. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Well, she has the biggest fanbase in the world praying for her. I will not allow a CGI Leia in Episode 9. Edited December 24, 2016 by Mara 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted December 24, 2016 I know right, it's a real shocker. Right before Christmas as well, I really feel bad for her family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I came here to say that too. Fingers crossed she'll be okay.

Andy 60 Posted January 14, 2017 Lucasfilm has officially debunked the rumours that they will continue with a digital Leia in Episode IX. http://www.starwars.com/news/a-statement-regarding-new-rumors I presume they'll tweak Episode VIII to give her a proper send off.

Uncle Du 22 Posted January 14, 2017 I would hope they do. I liked how they gave a nod to Leonard Nimoy in the newest Star Trek. Simple, and revering. Got me a little misty. Carrie deserves the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted January 16, 2017 Exactly. Though reportedly she was to have a bigger role in 9, so a lot of tweaking may be needed to the script. Probably give her lines/scenes to another character. I saw a comment somewhere from someone that they could just make her a Force ghost... but that would necessitate the CGI they just shot down, lol. (Doesn't mean they can't use her voice, though, like they did with Alec Guinness in Ep 7). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
