Today we celebrate the actress who brought Princess Leia to life, with our updated “lost” pictures post. Carrie Fisher is now one with the force.
If you have not heard already, Carrie Fisher the actress who played Princess Leia, passed away this morning. Her daughter Billie Lourd, who played a part in Episode VII, released this statement:
It is with a very deep sadness that Billie Lourd confirms that her beloved mother Carrie Fisher passed away at 8:55 this morning.
She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly,
Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers.
So today we celebrate Carrie Fisher, with our updated “lost” pictures post that show a more candid side of the actress. Many of these pictures are from my personal collection that were digitized in the late 1990’s and 2000’s from various clubs and fan websites I’ve been a part of throughout the years..
Enjoy these fond Star Wars memories in these “lost” images of Princess Leia from Episodes V, and VI!
If you have a photo credit for any of these please email us, as my sources in a lot of cases pre-date the internet.

Our thoughts are with the Fisher family today, and forever.
~Princess Leia, where are you tonight?~
