“Carrie and I have been friends most of our adult lives. She was extremely smart; a talented actress, writer and comedienne with a very colorful personality that everyone loved,” via THR. “In Star Wars she was our great and powerful princess – feisty, wise and full of hope in a role that was more difficult than most people might think. My heart and prayers are with Billie, Debbie and all Carrie’s family, friends and fans. She will be missed by all.”

Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford brought the charismatic couple of Han Solo and Princess Leia to life, and Fisher recently revealed in her book that she had an off screen affair with Ford as well.

Harrison Ford offered his condolences in a statement, and he said that she will be missed.

“Carrie was one-of-a-kind…brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely…My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her Mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.”

It’s clear that Carrie Fisher will be missed by her Star Wars family, and you can see what the rest of the cast is saying about Carrie’s life and legacy below.

In between “Jedi” and “Force” Han and Leia had a son, named Ben, who later defected to the Dark Side and became Kylo Ren. Surely Ben’s transformation put a strain on the relationship, but we never really got a clear answer as to why Han and Leia split up.

Last weekend Carrie Fisher spoke about Han and Leia’s relationship at the The Saskatoon Comic & Entertainer Expo, and Fisher shared her take on why things didn’t work out.

“He smuggled way too much. And girls, I know you don’t want your husband smuggling, do you? [And] hanging out with the hairy guy too often. I think there are a lot of problems with that. He wouldn’t take me on that hyperspace thing enough… [that’s a] euphemism.”

Carrie Fisher is one of a kind, that’s for sure, and you can see her on the big screen once again when “Episode VIII” hits theaters in December of 2017.

You can check out some highlights from the panel below.

The post Carrie Fisher On What Caused Han And Leia To Separate appeared first on It's All The Rage.

Those of you that have seen “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” know that there was a big death in the film, a HUGE death. After making his fourth appearance in a Star Wars film so far, Han Solo was killed, but he wasn’t killed by just anyone. Han Solo was killed by his own son, Ben Solo a.k.a. Kylo Ren.

The murder of Han Solo at the hands of his own son was used to show that Kylo Ren is now fully committed to the dark side of the force. Of course fans were crushed to lose Han Solo as he’s been a beloved member of the Star Wars universe for quite some time. But most Star Wars fans are familiar with the fact that Harrison Ford urged George Lucas to kill Han Solo during the original trilogy. Lucas and Ford worked it all out and Solo survived, that is until “The Force Awakens.”

So how did Harrison Ford feel when he finally found out he was getting his wish? J.J. Abrams recently spoke to Fandango about Harrison Ford’s reaction and you can see what he had to say below:

“He was very thoughtful about it, and he got it. He understood why it was so powerful. And I think part of it was because Harrison himself — Han, the character — has so much ahead of him. Has so much life and fight and adventure — that this was the time to do that thing. If we felt like the character was sort of at the end of his days, it wouldn’t have been as powerful. The thing that made it potentially meaningful wasn’t just who does it and how it happened, but that it’s a character that is so vital that is meeting his demise. I’ll also say that Harrison’s always said that he knew that Han needed to have clear utility, and that’s what he wanted to do. And that’s why he argued back in the day that Han should die and George [Lucas] didn’t want to do it. And I don’t know what his utility in that regard would’ve been, though I’m sure Harrison would’ve come up with a clever pitch for it. But in this case there was such a clear utility — it’s about bringing this new villain to the fore, and there’s nothing I could think of that is more hideous than patricide, especially when it comes to Han Solo.”
