god. dammit.

This is go­ing to be an even hard­er one to process. 

For dudes my age, Princess Leia was a strong, un­com­pro­mis­ing fe­male hero giv­en to us at ear­ly enough an age that it didn’t seem as rev­o­lu­tion­ary to us as it must have to boys born even just a few years ear­li­er. It wasn’t a sub­ver­sion of roles to us, it just *was*

It’s be­cause of Fisher’s per­fect­ly-bal­anced per­for­mance that a whole gen­er­a­tion of men grew up nev­er think­ing twice about women be­ing lead­ers. Why wouldn’t they? 

That a part in a low bud­get 1970s space opera could leave that kind of long cul­tur­al tail is **huge** and it would­n’t have left a lega­cy that res­o­nant with any oth­er ac­tress in the role.
 

 

RIP Car­rie Fisher.
