Cosplay Tribute to Our Princess, Carrie Fisher

There is no way to properly express the impact Carrie Fisher has had on the fandom community, the greater movie community and even society itself with her openness about addiction problems and her unflagging feminism. After suffering a heart attack Friday while on a plane, Fisher died today, and a great disturbance was felt in fandoms everywhere.

But we can remind our readers of just how popular is the character she is best known for, Princess Leia Organa. There are of course many slave Leia cosplayers, both traditional, genderbent and many truly creative mashups. But there are also all different costumes, including the fake bounty hunter Boushh from Return of the Jedi.

Among the photographers in this gallery are FirstPerson Shooter, Angelwing, Myratheon Cosplay, Caroline Belge Photography, Wonderllama Photograpy and Bentpic5.

Cosplayers include CospLai by Lai, MicroKitty Cosplay, Copper Chrome, K.Odom Photography and Cosplay, Sparrow’s Song Entertainment, Koi Fish Asylum, Boston Bee Cosplay,  Gwendolyn Taylor, Haruvamp, and many others. Alas, the most consistent and awesome cosplayer of various versions of Leia in this gallery is The Amazing Joy, who no longer has a cosplay fan page.
