I much admit that as far as celebrity deaths go, hers does not seem significant enough to warrant more than passing (no pun intended) notice. She was an actress of average talent who played a supporting role in three popular movies and a cameo in a fourth movie of the same franchise. It seems like people are actually morning the imagined lose of the fictional character of Princess Leia.Don't underestimate the power of an actress who can sell George's awful dialoge. Natalie Portman couldn't do it. Carrie Fisher sold us on her character. But you don't need grand achievements to be important to people. I love Carrie as Leia but I love her as herself more. She was an incredible person.
