In New Orleans on Friday, thousands turned out to honor Carrie Fisher, the actor famous for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars movies.
But even in a crowd where Fisher’s Princess Leia role was front and center, many pointed out the contributions Fisher had made even after her Star Wars acting wound down.
“Our first instinct was to hit the streets and parade and celebrate Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher.”
Fisher, whose tough-talking princess defied Empire generals while tossing off one-liners such as “into the garbage chute, flyboy”, died on Tuesday.
