    I know this is just the 'cool' thing to say when some-one famous passes but this is one case where it's particularly hard to believe.

    It's possible s/he's never heard the name of the actress before, especially if they're younger. Not knowing Princess Leia is a massive step though, transcended the Star Wars universe and is really a pop culture icon. Not sure why you'd bother commenting on a dedicated thread if you've never heard of her though....

    Whether you knew who she was or not grow up!! A mother has lost her daughter, her siblings have lost a sister and her friends have lost a friend. How many actresses were inspired by her and went into acting because of her. She was so funny as a guest on chat shows. She seemed like such an amazing person who may have been small in stature but big in comedic timing and charisma. Poor Gary will miss her. She never went anywhere without him it seemed :(

    Star Wars aside I wouldn't have ever heard of her. Hardly a legend anyway. R.I.P.

    If being a cultural icon for several decades doesn't make you a legend then I don't know what does.

    Indeed.

    There's people dying that have never died before.

    R.I.P :( ...another little piece of my youth dead.


    They're coming thick and fast now. I wonder who'll be next. Keith Richards had surely gotta be watching his every step now. :p

    I doubt a thread will be started when you pass so at least she achieved a little more than you...

    You were making jokes about George Michael earlier. You don't get to play the high horse card.

    The joke was a gentle pun on one of his songs. Not disrespectful.

    Just out of Star Wars Rogue One, the notification came through as I was watching it. Seemed poignant particularly with the last scene.

    they care enough to post about how they really don't care though. Why bother?

    Anyone who claims they don't know who Princess Leia is must have been living in a cave for the past 40 years. Or they are lying

    Seems "generation snowflake" is the new "blast em with piss" go to witty comment on boards.

    Carrie Fisher isn't *that* famous. I know plenty of people who haven't seen Star Wars, and she hardly had a stellar career after that.

    Right Wing Bigots use that to say what they like about people- but you can't criticise their behaviours publicly lolz

    If you come onto a thread like this comment then you must in some way know who the person being discussed is. Otherwise, as you say, why bother?

    Claiming not to know Princess Leia or who played her is a stretch too far for me.

    Like I said it's just an attempt to be cool and edgy....and frankly it gets tiresome thread after thread.
