Revisiting Carrie Fisher’s Legacy Through the Lens of Art and Life
This isn't the first time Todd has had the bittersweet experience of seeing his sister on the big screen since she tragically passed away in 2016. Back in 2017, Carrie appeared in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where she was comatose for much of the film. Todd shared a poignant observation with the NY Post about how life and art intersected in this instance. "They shot those scenes of her in a coma before she was ever in a coma," he explained. "So then I found myself, [remembering] her in a coma in real life. And in that case, life had imitated art."
It's an emotional reflection that speaks to the profound connection Todd has with his sister, both as a family member and as someone who shared her passion for storytelling. Watching Carrie on screen can be a deeply moving experience, especially for those who knew her personally.
Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds: A Legacy of Love and Faith
Just one day after Carrie’s untimely passing, her mother, the legendary Debbie Reynolds, also passed away. Todd Fisher has spoken candidly about the challenge of dealing with such profound loss. "A lot of people asked me when they died, ‘How do you deal with it?’" he revealed. "Part of it is the faith that we all shared—my mother, my sister, and I—the idea that we shall meet again, and they’re not far from you. They’re just in a different space or a different dimension. There are a lot of words you can attach to that. The word ‘force,’ for example, is George Lucas’s choice word, but you could interchange the word ‘faith.’ I find a lot of that comforting, frankly."
