She completed the principle filming in ep8, so ep7 won't be her last appearance.
Portman was 16 in TPM. 19 in AOTC.
Buying a figure to honor a person isn't in my books. I don't know, but are you guys serious? Why the sudden love for Carrie Fisher?
Found this gif posted in another thread by Golden Boy. Had to share.

My sentiments as well.
As I mentioned before, this figure has been out for what, roughly 8-9 months now and was still plentiful? To me, if you otherwise had little to no intentions of getting the figure and it takes the actor or actress passing to inspire you to now go in a frenzy trying to acquire it, I don't know, it just seems to me like you probably didn't really want it that bad to begin with. Don't get it simply because you think you're honoring that person's memory or somehow paying tribute to their passing by doing so. For me personally, if I didn't want the figure then, the actor or actress passing isn't going to suddenly make me desperately want it now.
There it is. Knew one of these was bound to pop up sooner or later.
I bought the part 4 Leia when it first went for pre-sale and if they make a General Leia, I'll buy that 1 too. In fact, I'll buy Leia in any outfit from parts 4-7 that comes out. Why are you guys being so critical about anybody else's motivation to buy her figure now cause she passed. Don't question or analyze anybody's reason for wanting to acquire this part 4 figure. It's not your money, they're spending. Sheez.
Seriously Who really cares and why would you get so worked up over it?
My little tribute to her. View attachment 312787
I joined the waitlist. Don't know what the odds are of getting one. I also bought one from ToyWiz, but ended up paying way too much.
I bought this from Hong Kong the day the figure came out; just recently I was thinking of getting another for a custom, I Ummed and ahhed about it for a while until I heard the terrible news before Christmas. Decided to get it yesterday because it was obvious her death would affect prices in some way, and the price started shooting up as soon as the news broke. I think a lot of people aren't scalpers nor are they buying out of sentiment but are folks who have been on the fence for a while, thought they had forever to get it, and then suddenly found they had to buy in a hurry if they wanted this at a reasonable price. One good thing about this is that down the line a lot f collectors will find they didn't really want this and unload them on eBay, thereby bringing the price down for anyone who genuinely wants this to enjoy on their shelf. So a lot of scalpers will get burned, including the ones who put it on for ridiculous prices. And that's as it should be because profiting from someone's death is distasteful.
I wonder how her death will affect future releases? It'll be down to her family then presumably.
