Neither science nor religion can adequately explain why it was time for Carrie Fisher to move on from this world to the next. It will never seem right that a parent should have to bury their child. Nor does it feel right for the Star Wars universe to have lost its most cherished princess. In a year that was unusually unpleasant, this is a truly sad coda. For those fortunate enough to have known Carrie, I pray they can find the strength to endure. For the wider audience not so fortunate, we will always remember her as Leia, a genuine icon of the cinematic universe. That, at least, might offer some solace. Rest in peace, Carrie.
