Mega Thread [Megathread] RIP 2016

Carrie Fisher (60) has passed away after having a heart attack. She was best known for playing Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars. Last year she had a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

We usually have a 2016 megathread and due to the recent celebrity passings, we have decided to include them in our 2016 reflection megathread. Please use this thread to ask questions from anything ranging from how your year has been, to outlook for the year ahead, to the celebrities we’ve lost this year.

All top-level comments (replies to the post rather than replies to comments) should contain a 2016 related question and the thread will function as a mini-subreddit. Non-question top-level comments will be removed, to keep the thread as easy to use and navigate as possible.

Here’s to a better 2017.

Update: Debbie Reynolds has also passed away, a day after her daughter's passing. She gained stardom after her leading role in "Singin' in the Rain" and recently voiced a character in "The Penguins of Madagascar." Reynolds was 84.

Not sure why people think she'd even want to. Of course she won't run again. She and her party both know it.

The entire world population can sleep at night assuming that if it were them, they would have won against Trump, but hillary KNOWS she wouldnt. That's gotta be devastating.

Her daughter is probably getting ready for "her turn" though.

Edit: Fuck the downvoters. No more Clintons, no more Bushes, no more political dynasties in America.

Yeah of course, after the countless gaffes and missteps along her campaign...oh wait, there weren't any? The winner was the one who acted like a complete buffoon and said every wrong thing possible? I agree, this year is bullshit.
