Princess Leias parade New Orleans to honour Carrie Fisher
2017-01-02
[Independent] Following her untimely death, Star Wars fans across the world paid tribute to Carrie Fisher, the actor behind the iconic character, Princess Leia. In New Orleans, thousands took to the streets to honour Fisher, many dressed as the tough-talking princess.

Organised by the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus - who celebrate all things Star Wars - the parade saw members of the community join in merriment to celebrate Fisher’s life.

"This is a public demonstration of our love for Princess Leia," Brooke Ethridge - a member of the Leijorettes, a dancing group made up of fans who dress like Princess Leia - told the Associated Press.

"Our first instinct was to hit the streets and parade and celebrate Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher."

#4  I had such great hopes of 2017. I may have set the bar too high.

#3  The fact that HRC received in excess of 13 votes in the recent election validates the need for a much lower bar.
