      <description><![CDATA[We’re still reeling the loss of Star Wars legend and all-around treasure Carrie Fisher, though as tends to be the case with departed stars, their upcoming projects will help uphold their legacy.

Martin must have written 2016, given all the high-profile deaths. Most recently, fans lost both Star Wars’ Carrie Fisher and Watership Down author Richard Adams, for which Martin offer his own thoughts on this “wretched year.” <a href="https://wgrd.com/george-rr-martin-carrie-fisher-death-2016/">Continue reading&hellip;</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[It’s undeniable that Carrie Fisher was a rare talent — and she’d have to be, to charm the notoriously picky George Lucas with her Star Wars audition. In a recently resurfaced video, originally posted on YouTube in 2006, Fisher sits down to read a scene opposite Harrison Ford (whom Lucas initially didn’t want to cast, but he was so good in the screen tests that Ford became his Han Solo).  <a href="https://wgrd.com/carrie-fisher-star-wars-audition-tape/">Continue reading&hellip;</a>]]></description>

      <title>Carrie Fisher’s Obituary Request Was Typically Witty and Wonderful</title>
      <link>https://wgrd.com/carrie-fishers-obituary-request/</link>
      <pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2016 20:55:42 GMT</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[Today we mourn the loss of Carrie Fisher: Iconic actor, talented author, brilliant script doctor and, most of all, an incomparable force to be reckoned with. There are so many great adjectives you could use to describe Fisher: Uncompromising, unapologetic, fierce, witty, relatable, real, honest. She took all of those qualities and put them to work in her books — from memoirs to novels, Fisher had a knack for telling poignant and painful stories with wit and wisdom. Writing a worthy obituary for one of the best and boldest women on this planet or any other is surely an impossible task…so it’s a good thing that the perfect obit basically already exists, and unsurprisingly, Fisher came up with it herself. <a href="https://wgrd.com/carrie-fishers-obituary-request/">Continue reading&hellip;</a>]]></description>
