Watch Carrie Fisher Hilariously Roast George Lucas, Then Watch a Wonderful STAR WARS Video Tribute
Ever since Carrie Fisher tragically passed away, the internet has been flooded with tributes to the talented writer and actress. Here are a couple of videos I came across that I wanted to share. The first features Fisher hilariously roasting Star Wars creator George Lucas in 2005 when he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. This is an example of how brilliantly funny and honest she was.
The second video is a Star Wars tribute to the actress cut together by our friend Gary at Sneaky Zebra. It's the best video tribute that I've seen made for the actress, and it came with the following note:
You can't distill a person down into just one thing... For me Carrie Fisher started as Princess Leia.
But like all characters you love, and relate to... As you grow you learn about the person behind the role... How their own stories can be bigger and more compelling than anything on screen, their enemies tougher... Their battles harder... and their Victories inspiring.
And whilst she began life for me as a Princess with some stolen plans... She has become someone who will leave a mark on so many... For reason deeper than any single status can explain...
Hope seems like a cute reference... but for so many reasons, I think she truly was a symbol of hope against many kinds of darkness...
People fade with the passing of time... But as long as we remember what these people did, what they stood for... Their legacy will continue far beyond any of us!
