Carrie Fisher Thinks Slave Leia Merch Controversy Is ‘Stupid’

The buildup to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is intense and thrilling, but let’s be clear: The most intense and thrilling part of this universe is the real-life Carrie Fisher, whose self-possessed wooziness makes her one of pop culture’s most sublime entities. Coming home: Carrie Fisher jetted in to L.A. from New York NY on Thurs., a day after taping an interview with Amy Robach for Good Morning America promoting Show star Wars: The Force AwakensIt’s resulting from air as part of GMA’s week of Show star Wars specials. “It was very calming for me…” She’s also known to bring her adorable dog, Gary, with her to as many events as possible – and Gary gave his review (through Fisher – he’s a dog, he can’t talk, silly) as well. I did not know that I was pretty. “It’s taking a male-dominated title and putting it on a female, so it’s a positive empowering thing that you’re proud of”.

Although George Lucas reportedly asked Fisher to return personally, she said she didn’t take much convincing, giving the dearth of meaty Hollywood roles for women over a certain age. In July a father was left felling furious when he saw the action figure at a toy story, saying it was inappropriate for children.

“I’ve been this character for 40 years, why would I not?” she said. I don’t mostly wear the baboon ass hairstyle.

Asked whether she had a message for die-hard “Star Wars” fans, she replied: “Please go to this film… you’ll really like it. I liked it and I’m strict”. “There is no ‘more”. “Maybe. And that’s about 15 people”, the 59 year old added. It seems like the Force will always be strong with this Star Wars veteran.
