General Organa - Carrie Fisher

After seeing Rogue One with friends in Chicago last night, then hearing Carrie Fisher died this morning, it has left me in a melancholy and reflective mood.

I think Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) said it best on Twitter. I've recaptured it below.

It does feel like we lost a hero, doesn't it?

More than, someone we grew up and had part of our lives. That big sister we counted on to be there.

I mostly agree on the General Organa thing, but I don't want to dismiss the strength of Carrie as young Princess Leia also. She was strong and a fighter when many women weren't portrayed that way. Carrie Fisher didn't set out to be a sex symbol as young Leia, she portrayed her with strength and dignity despite that silly gold bikini. But... I do feel like I will remember her later years more over time. I was so impressed with her in Force Awakens, after witnessing her mental health issues on the cruise a few years back, the fact that pulled herself so together to become General Organa once again was quite a feat.
