It is with great regret that I have to write this post, especially so soon after a piece that I worked so very hard on, however, this takes precedence. 2016 has been a rough year in the scope celebrity deaths: Prince, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Gene Wilder, Kenny Baker, and now as of just a few short hours ago our beloved Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, joins R2 in the ranks of the fallen this year. This post will not be long for me, a few moments of silence is one of the best memorials for the fallen beloved. That being said I do have a few words.
She was many things to many people. To her family she was a star, a daughter, and a loving mother. However, to most of us she will always be that strong princess that risked everything to save the rebellion from the Galactic Empire. From escorting the plans of the Death star, to fighting on the front line in Endor, she stood firm and proud in the face of insurmountable odds and true evil. It's hard to forget the image of a woman barely over five feet glaring without an ounce of fear into the glaring helm of one of the most notorious Sith lords in history. Her bravery as Leia inspired generations of people to do the without a doubt. Spirit like that in a world like today is especially something that will be missed. It is truly a shame that the line that she will be most remembered by is "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Throughout the rest of the films, Leia is one of the great pillars of hope for the entire galaxy, leading the rebellion to many victories and keeping the rebellion alive.
Rest well Carrie Fisher, you were the princess we all loved and admired, may the Force Be With You Forever and Always.
