But…he stops himself right before he was going to kill me, because—redundant. Don’t kill both your parents. It’s never a good idea. — Carrie Fisher talking about that pivotal moment between Leia and her son Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
…I also have to be grateful for all she gave us while she was here.
— Mark Hamill about Carrie Fisher at D23 expo 2017, after both of them received the title of ‘Disney legends’
I’ve been so touched by how Mark Hamill is not only consistently a champion of remembering Carrie Fisher with respect that loves and doesn’t wash over or smooth out the rough edges of her life, which she made such a triumph out of, but is also so consistent in being open and unashamed of all the conflicting feelings of grief? Like I know none of us can ever really know celebrities etc etc but it’s sort of wild to see a man of this age, raised in the era he was raised in, speak so fluently and calmly about love and rage and just act very peacefully like that’s all a normal part of grief.
It can’t be easy to be asked again and again and again what it’s like to have someone that you know pass away, especially at this age, and with the weight of world attention and celebrity on it. And I’m really impressed that he seems to use these moments to model beautiful, healthy openness about loss and how we process it.
Everyone who worked on the film has a Carrie story, but the sweetest and most heartbreaking one belongs to Isaac:
“One of my favorite things that would happen from time to time on set would be when Carrie would sing old songs,” he says. “Whenever that would happen I would offer her my hand and we would waltz around the set – on a starship, in a Rebel base, on an alien planet, and she would sing and we would dance. So surreal and beautiful to think about now. For all of her delicious, wicked humor and fiery energy she also had such sweet grace. I miss her dearly.”
