Blog dedicated to Star Wars and the Star Wars cast, including but not limited to Leia Organa and Carrie Fisher.

Carrie Fisher began journaling at the age of 12, fostering a life-long love affair with words which would culminate with a status as a best-selling novelist renowned for her dark, witty humor and no-holds-barred take on reality. As an unashamed advocate for mental health awareness, she openly discussed her personal struggles with bi-polar and addiction, working tirelessly to reduce the stigma around mental illness.  To carry on Carrie’s legacy, I’ve begun designing journal covers inspired by her life, quotes, and writing. 100% of profits will be donated to The Thalians, a charitable organization dedicated to mental health causes which was co-founded by Carrie’s mother, Debbie Reynolds, in 1955.

Journals Available Here

New designs (including guest contributions) will be added weekly.

“When my mother was about 7, my grandmother locked her in the closet. So, after my mom had been in the closet for about an hour, she asked my grandmother for a glass of water. My grandmother, naturally, said ‘Why?’ and my mother said ‘Because I’ve spit all over your dresses and now I’ve run out of spit and I wanna spit all over your shoes.’ These are the people I hail from.” — Carrie Fisher

That’s…that’s wonderful. What are we gonna do? We’re not gonna worry about anything right now, alright? This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life.

I did a film called Star Wars. You may not have heard of it. And it’s about my parents arguing all the time and they’re getting a divorce.

It amuses me to think of Carrie needing to save this pic in her phone for special occasions when she finds the appropriate time to text someone this pic. Shocked? Harrison pic. Surprised? Harrison pic. Have no effing clue what to do next? Harrison pic. 😂

Ironically, one of Leia’s trademark symbols—her signature “bun” coiffure—was inherited from her mother’s homeworld of Naboo, although a long time passed before she came to know it.

I have tried to function as a trusting person and I’ve been nailed. Now it’s me that I don’t trust ~ Carrie Fisher

The idea being that both of them being strong with the Force and never having met, would know about each other — that Leia would have been told about her beyond what we saw onscreen and Rey of course would have learned about Leia. And that reunion would be a meeting and a reunion all in one, and a sort of commiseration of their mutual loss // JJ Abrams

“Carrie! I don’t know why she’s not singing. Yes, she’s fantastic. She’s done some duets for fun with Paul Simon that are just, just glorious. She’s a marvelous musician also.” - Eddie Fisher, 1983

Where are these duets with Paul though, can they magically be unearthed

December 2, 1994 - Carrie Fisher on Clive Anderson Talks Back “There’s a half-life out there that’s weird. You do a movie for three months, everything’s sort of finite, you know? You meet people. Part of your job is to kiss other people and make love to them. It isn’t great for marriages, I don’t think. I mean, it’s permissible, you know.”
