RIP Carrie Fisher, May the Force be With You
On December 27, 2016, at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Carrie Fisher passed away. She played the iconic role of Princess Leia in Star Wars. The cause of death was cardiac arrest which in other words is a heart attack. She was on a transatlantic plane from London to Los Angeles. She was everyone's hero and a role model to women everywhere. Fisher will always be remembered in the hearts of Star Wars fans. She was an actor, author and mental health advocate.
-Brendan Lopez
"The passing of Carrie Fisher left many along with myself feeling inconsolable. Especially with her being the main character in the original trilogy. Growing up as a Star Wars fan I can surely say she has definitely left an impact on me. I will always remember her role at the beginning of Episode VI Return of the Jedi in Jabba's Palace. Even though she is no longer with us, we will always love Princess Leia and SHE KNOWS IT." -Noah Valdez (Right) (12)
"Carrie Fisher passing was something that I wasn’t expecting. With the new Star Wars movies scheduled to come out, I feel as if no one will be able to play Princess Leia the way she did. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher" -Isaiah Guerrero (12)
"It was a great loss to the Star Wars community"
-Mr. Karamitsos (art teacher)
​"I was devastated when Carrie Fisher passed away. She has been a big part of our pop culture. I watched 'Rogue One' one day before she died" -Manny Bermudez (12)
