Awesome
Not being a massive wars fan I tagged along with my better half not expecting too much. It's only the 2nd star wars film I've seen. The 1st was rogue one I didn't find that too enthusiastic to get me into the franchise..... This one has definetly changed that idea.
What a film seeing Carrie Fisher for the last time is heartwrenching and beautiful.
I'm officially a a wars fan and now look forward to seeing the others!

“I had never been Princess Leia before and now I would be her forever. I would never not be Princess Leia. I had no idea how profoundly true that was and how long forever was.”

Carrie found these diaries shortly before she died and formed them into a book. To be honest, I would have liked less about the affair between her and Harrison Ford - she didn’t seem to say much anyway, even though it took up most of the book. I wanted more about the movies and the other actors. Ah well. I’ll bet Harrison Ford wasn’t too impressed though.
And there’s no denying that Carrie Fisher could write. One of those books that as soon as you’ve started, you’ve already finished (this is a good thing!).

Surprisingly good, intense beyond belief
My face at the end of this film was like being hit by a car! With a stellar cast, fantastic acting, and a storyline that is absolutely gasp-worthy, it is a great set up for the next film in the Star Wars saga. Felicity Jones is superb as the leading lady, totally understated, and totally kickass. The action is incredible, and I'm pleased to say there isn't any sign of Ja Ja Binks anywhere. As it's also the last appearance of Carrie Fisher, it's almost a homage to her life.

For a memoir, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. While I’m not a huge fan of memoirs, and a particular fan of Carrie Fisher, I am a fan of Star Wars and strong female role models.

I’d never read any of Fisher’s work before this and was delighted with her sense of humor.

She really does just focus on her life leading up to landing the role of Princess Leia and on the time during and just after filming. She does touch a bit on how the role has continued to impact her life experiences towards the end.
