[Rev. Rye]

Carrie fisher suffered a serious heart attack and went into cardiac arrest while onboard a London to LA flight.  She is hospitalized in critical condition:

Why did you put her year of death while she was still in the hospital?

Iroscato renamed the thread as soon as it was official. Also, I actually heard the news that she finally kicked it just as I was getting into the theater to see Rogue One. One group of people who got into the theatre the same time I did said she just died. Since this was long before the trailers even started, I checked my phone  to confirm it (and, yes, I turned it off by the time the film started).

And, of course, seeing the impressive way they Fake Shemped her into the ending of Rogue One, I seriously have to wonder what route they'll take her appearance in Episode 9. Yes, I know I keep bringing up "what will happen to Leia's character in Episode 9," but, honestly, no matter how many other films she's been in (even if I saw one around the same time as she had her fatal heart attack), I still have a hard time thinking of her beyond Leia, and, honestly, it's a lot easier for me to speculate on shit like this (especially knowing what I do about the plans for the future) than grieve a lot of the time.
