I feel so old when I realize I knew Carrie when she was 19 and also when she died at 60.

Carrie Fisher is a national treasure. Change my mind
MxMenagerie
Some want to shit talk her but forget she was outspoken about mental health in an industry & a generation where it was swept under the rug.
GTimgur
Also being sexy isn't inherently wrong.

In the script that works but doesn't explain why she's happily playing in the ocean in that same outfit.
rumandbass
for a photoshoot. Star Wars cast was in literally every magazine at the time.
SnarkySophia
I think you missed the point.
ttimbric
Oh come on, George Lucas isn't that bad. : P
JupitersWitch
His entire movie was saved by his wife. Before her, it was a flaming pile of shit.

"How will I talk to my kid about X?" Idk, use your mouth and ears, and maybe grow a SPINE?
Dwerioc
I would recommend using words. We invented them for the express purpose of conveying meaning. Interpretive dance would also work in a pinch.
J4nein4ne
Exactly! "Mommy, why are those two men holding hands?" *mimes a blowjob, pinkie finger up the butt*
J4nein4ne
How do I talk to my kids about words, though...? /s
fairybug
Seriously. She killed him with the very chains he put on her. It's empowering and badass as fuck and I'll hear nothing against it.
Mikadomea
And leia didnt need piercing a 2nd gender or pink hair to do it.
Firebirdie713
No one needs those things to be badass, but recognizing/creating badasses with those traits takes nothing away from her badassery.
KesselRun73
George Lucas wrote that part too.
fairybug
There are a lot of things about his writing that I don't care for, but credit where it's due: that was a truly great scene and I adore it.
VaticRegok
What is going on here? Why is she at the beach?

Actors aren't badasses... She was a drug fueled mess and y'all idolizing her
Artimak
It isn't that she was a "drug fueled mess," but that she spent her life struggling against that, not only for herself, but for others too.

When did we become such prudes that you would have to explain this outfit?

This isn't true. George Lucas is still alive?

...I miss space mom ;_;

I would have happily disappointed her in the early or late years.
lagomorpha
I just saw the new film with my family on xmas.... Teared up because damn I miss Space Mom.

So glad I got to meet her and talk to her. Great, great lady.
JoshCanJump
I met her at work once. And her dog. She had not giving a fuck down to an art.

I made it the day she died.
qwijybo
The prequels and sequels should have been done 20+ years ago so the OG characters could have played a more significant role in them.
Enurpo
Sequels probably, but the prequels probably not
JustTheCats
The og characters couldn't possibly play a role in the Prequels.
qwijybo
I meant they should have gotten to this point while the actors were much younger so the sequels occurred while they were healthy.
idontcareifthesundontshine
What really frills my cheese is that if I complain about pointless sexy clothing for women I'm seen as a jealous spoil sport
GhostbusterGuy
Especially since Carrie Fisher herself requested it.
Kyuukichi
Yeah f* frilly cheese!
YurgenGrimwood
Not pointless, there's definitely a point. Not the only decisions made to boost sales.
JustinSane6
Why are you running around whining about somebody else’s clothing, in the first place? There’s nothing pointless about sexyness.

mike13815
It wasn't pointless in the movie. It was intentionally supposed to be degrading for the character.
johnson442
Yes, and...?
jetflight
I want my women in bikini armor and my men in loincloths! Get to it.
HyoukaYukikaze
Well, yeah. Sexy outfit for women bad! Shirtless men ok!
sundaymondayhippyday
But in this particular case she had the attitude of this is dumb and then she shows why clothes don’t maketh the woman!
Kodaxmax
well sexy clothing isn't inherently pointless or bad.
pzummo
But she was Jabba’s slave. Some say sex slave. Jabba was a gangster and surrounded himself with exotic dancers. It went with the story.
ferafish
Yeah, but there's times where they blatantly write the story to fit in the boobs *coughQuietcough*
pzummo
Examples? Feature title and the minute mark would be great.
Quetzal4U
So space slugs find humans sexy? Also how would she *do* the sex with a slug? The more I think, the less sense it makes.
pzummo
I don’t see how it is any different than human gangsters collecting exotic animals. They accessorize their pets, not cover them up.
NotTheRealMeNow
I would have sex with nearly every alien in the Mass Effect series. That said, most of those are at least bipedal.
Quetzal4U
I romanced Garrus but I couldn’t fuck him cuz of his weird boxy genitals. Our love goes unconsummated...
LizardEnterprises
Devils avocado: Lucas didn't have to write him that way. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxV8gAGmbtk

There are ways to be interesting that don't involve putting damsels in stripper outfits.

Also, capturing a princess for the hero to rescue is cliche, not unique, even in the 80s.

A frilled cheese sandwich would be mighty good right about now! Not to sound sexy, but I know how to make my own frilled cheese sandwich.
idontcareifthesundontshine
It also grills my cheese but whatever!
MissSpelledTattoo

LOL. “Frills my cheese” is so much better!
CorndogHead
Wait, isn't grilled cheese a good thing? I'm always down for a grilled cheese.

Me too! Add a bowl of tomato soup and you have an excellent lunch for a cold day.

“That really chaps my ass” is my favorite
YourMomsSidePiece
That depends, does it also bother you when guys in movies are pointlessly shown without shirts on?
PuppyDontCare
There are a couple in Twilight. Ppl at the cinema literally laughed. So ridiculous
JanoahDavis42688
It’s like when they throw in a long sex scene. That was nice but get back to the plot already
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It bothers me. It's dumb.
YourMomsSidePiece
There goes Channing Tatum's career.
dogsarebetterthanhuman
Nah. He can just go back to stripping
guardian19d
That's not a nice thing to say about George Lucas. Besides, he's still alive.... isn't he? Let me ask my kids.
ProhunterHN
Your kids have no idea who George Lucas is
Marsupialmessiah
Yup
BatmanOSX
This is the way?
MiniYams
It took me until the "i killed him" to realize she wasn't talking about George Lucas.
rumandbass
i kinda think she was talking about George Lucas.
MiniYams
its possible it was a double meaning, but she was definitely talking about jabba, also she didn't seem like the type to be cowed by power.
rumandbass
She was 17 at the time. One could be forgiven.
DVSBSTrD
That is a perfectly accurate thing to say about George Lucas. And JJ Abrams. And Rian Johnson.
PossibleSarcasm
The latter two sure, but Lucas is an actual legendary director who revolutionized many things and doesn't deserve the epic levels of hate
DVSBSTrD
Only when he had his wife nailing his feet to the floor.
magicrhombus
And if he'd stopped while he was ahead, that would be great. He didn't. His descent into mediocrity is plain for all to see.
JustTheCats
Lucas deserves both respect and scorn.
Navrodel
Right up until there was no one that wanted to tell him that he was out of his head. Lucas was lost when he abandoned practical effects.
Navrodel
To be clear, I'm talking before the prequels, when he decided the originals weren't good enough, and needed digital fuckery added in.
PutItInNeutral
Even Spielberg didn't call him out on that Indiana Jones IV script. And he admitted that he knew it was bad after the fact.
Molvanian
No, he died years ago. His replacement has been making movies in his name. It's why the prequels are.. well.. what they are.
ANonJewishPolack
While the prequels were a mess, they do have some awesome lightsaber scenes. Ewan McGregor definitely made the prequels worth watching. IMO
SecurityChiefRocIngersoI
Nope those are 100% Lucas. And what the Original Trilogy would have been if he was given full creative control.
SwaghettiYologneseWithMemeballs
Gene Roddenberry became a bit weird through the 70s too
crann
"limited budget" was the best thing to happen to the original trilogy (there are a lot of other great aspects, too of course)
ArdentSlacker
That and his then-wife editing the shit into a goddamn movie.
PossibleSarcasm
Awesome?

NobodyWorthThinkingAbout
In our defense, we didn't find out he sabotaged the cloning rig until AFTER he died.
Goldensands
Yet somehow beats the sequels. Prequels are bad 2 to be sure, but at least they have a cohesive narrative and a reasonable pace. ST = thrash
caine224
Sequel trilogy is bad, but fun to watch. Prequels have a "story" that sucks and is painful to watch.
Lichelf
Both make me go "what the fuck" but the prequel trilogy makes me laugh, while the sequel trilogy makes me cry :(
caine224
Opposite for me, but to each his own. We need thrawn back in cannon.
PossibleSarcasm
Absolutely. And it doesn't destroy story of the OT like the Disney Wars do.
Comet260
FUCK DISNEY!! FUCK DISNEY!!
Goldensands
Yeah gosh. Episode 10: the enemy has a new Death Star! *lightspeed skips Admiral hodor style*, end credits. Fking stupid. Continuity matters
heynongman4pres
The prequels are worse IMO Bc we know the potential of the story. The sequels don’t know what they’re doing.
caine224
No one knew what they were doing. Which is odd for a multibillion dollar franchise. Just like "jj, go ahead and wing it."
50m31AW
Those of us that read the EU know the potential for the sequels. Thrawn Trilogy best trilogy
heynongman4pres
Sure but would Lucas have had any deference to the EU either? I think he had his own outline for the sequels
