OPINION: Why Carrie Fisher was Irreplaceable as Leia Organa Solo
There’s been some back and forth over Carrie Fisher‘s last appearance in Star Wars: Episode IX. Many people don’t think she should have been present, while others suggested a recast or even a CGI digital recreation, like in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Ultimately, Todd Fisher (her brother) and Billie Jo Fisher (her daughter) agreed to allow Lucasfilm to use unseen footage from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Episode IX. This was ultimately done in order to fulfill the original intention for the episode, to give Carrie “her” movie. Episode VII was Harrison Ford‘s movie, Episode VIII was Mark Hamill‘s movie, and Episode IX was supposed to be Carrie’s. This has been confirmed from many…

Why Mera was Needed in the DC Universe
There are plenty of female heroes in the world of DC, such as Hawkgirl, Black Canary, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and the Batwomen. And all of those heroes are phenomenal in their right. I love DC with all my heart and soul, flaws and all. To tell a story properly, a film must fill out the character with a backstory. Otherwise, they remain hollow, empty and unendearing. That was an extreme problem with Justice League. The film didn’t have time to flesh out all of its wonderful characters. It is tough to accomplish such a story with an ensemble cast and relegate the “whys,” and the ”hows” into short interludes, giving the bare…
