“And then her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died right after. :'(“

“She died right before Rogue One came out. My mom and I saw it in theaters, and when Princess Leia came on the screen, my mom said, ‘She looks so beautiful.’
I burst into tears.”

“The last thing I saw on my phone before turning it off in the theatre before seeing Rogue One was a notification about Carrie Fisher’s death (That’s how I found out). It was ROUGH seeing Leia in that last scene.”

“Yes, this one was deeply upsetting. I don’t usually admire celebrities, but reading her books connected something in my brain about my own mental illnesses and trauma that allowed me to finally start a healing journey. I’m pretty sure I even got a job because of her. During the interview, I was speaking to someone who worked at Roundabout Theatre Company when Wishful Drinking was a stage show there, and I asked her about her time working there.”

“Princess Leia was the icon of my childhood. As a girl who loved Star Wars pre-Disney but after the prequel trilogy was released, she was like one of the few women in the series. Especially to be a badass rebel leader. Carrie Fisher just made it feel like it wasn’t an all-dude club. I was so sad when she died. It hurt a piece of my childhood.”
