Carrie Fisher Blasts Superficial Fans: 'Youth and Beauty Are Not Accomplishments' ~ amazing movies

The Force is still strong with Luke Skywalker's sister. In real life, Carrie Fisher is the ultimate force to be reckoned with, using her self-deprecating wit like a lightsaber to combat criticism -- while still probably making those same critics chuckle.

Carrie, now 59, has spent part of the past decades since "Star Wars" as a writer, but to many fans she's still best known as Princess Leia, who was forced to wear that slave bikini in "Return of the Jedi." (Carrie's advice to new star Daisy Ridley: "[Y]ou should fight for your outfit. Don't be a slave like I was.")
Carrie returned to the role of (now General) Leia in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and apparently her appearance opened the door to comparisons on how she's aging.

Carrie keeps a very interesting Twitter feed, and she delved into the topic of aging with some of her own tweets and retweets from fans and critics:

@IzzoKendall @carrieffisher Men don't age better than women, they're just allowed to age.

@carrieffisher So you want the money & adulation that comes with being a famous actor but not the criticism. Whoever told you life was fair?

It's true: Youth and beauty are not accomplishments -- now aging, on the other hand, that's an accomplishment that not all are able to achieve with grace. Props to Carrie for proving that 59 can be as much of a blast as 29. (Not that everyone has a blast at 29; youth gets idealized a lot in hindsight). You keep showing those scruffy-looking nerf-herders what a General looks like!
