No, not a single word period. Not on FB, not on Twitter, not on here. From Lucasfilm and EA Star Wars yeah but from the BW folks for SWTOR, zip. Well except Eric who retweeted someone's post of players coming together and Charles retweeted a msg from another writer for the game.

So i will say NO to promoting DRUG ABUSE and ACCITION.
I'll say it and don't care if it gets me a ban. You are a idiot and a troll. Go back to school and learn to spell.

She took the bad in her life and turned it to good and has helped many people the world over who are struggling with mental health issues and addictions.

I know SWTOR is in the past of the movies, but surely this game is still part of the SW family, isn't it?
This just shows me these people have no clue as to who their paying customers are. I don't care if they are on vacation. The community managers, I AM TALKING TO YOU TAIT AND ERIC, could have taken a moment of your time to express your thoughts on her loss in the dev tracker. To do nothing is pathetic.

But Leia's true heritage is Tatooine (father) and Naboo (mother)!
"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more...than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so *********** what." - Stephen Fry

I didn't want to be the one, so I'm glad it was you! Either way, I'm all for something wherever!

This not-reaction of BW makes me very sad!

I'd love to see something done!

There's plenty they can do that people have already suggested that doesn't break lore but I honestly wouldn't even care if whatever they did breaks lore.

Favourite suggestions:
- A statue/eternal flame type thing...
- Gary (Carrie's Dog) Pet for all the players (this would be super sweet)

I agree that it's completely appropriate to have a memorial of some kind, whether it breaks lore or not. There's a hundred ways to do it without breaking lore anyway! There's precedent for a memorial of a sort after all - that codex entry you can find on Ilum about the old abandoned base. Very cool to recognize prior game history like that, and this is no different.

We'll have to see if they acknowledge the idea after the holidays. I imagine everyone's on break right now, but I can't imagine they won't say SOMETHING.

This is why I hate the republic. They are such selfish people.

ANY memorial should be in an open easy to get to place for BOTH sides, not just half the player base.
