Star Wars: Billie Lourd Reflects on Passing of Mother Carrie Fisher
Billie Lourd, daughter of the late Carrie Fisher, wrote an emotional essay about her mother and how she is proud to have become the "Keeper of Princess Leia."
Lourd wrote her story on Time and began by saying how she "grew up with three parents: a mom, a dad, and Princess Leia." She compared Princess Leia to her stepmom - "technically family, but deep down
didn't really like her."
"She literally and metaphorically lived on a planet I had never been to," Lourd wrote. "When Leia was around, there wasn’t as much room for my mom–for Carrie. As a child, I couldn’t understand why people loved Leia as much as they did. I didn’t want to watch her movie, I didn’t want to dress up like her, I didn’t even want to talk about her. I just wanted my mom–the one who lived on Earth, not Tatooine."

Ninja Weighs in on the FaZe Jarvis Fortnite Ban
Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has weighed in on the news from this week that Fortnite pro Faze Jarvis received a lifetime ban for cheating in the game. Blevins suggested the punishment was too extreme, especially since Jarvis is a known Fortnite content creator.
“There’s a difference between a content creator who has millions of subscribers, hundreds of thousands of followers, who gets banned from what literally makes him money, and… some kid who is just a piece of shit who has absolutely zero following, has zero money that comes from Fortnite, from gaming, and hacks,” Blevins said.
