Carrie Fisher Had a Car Accident Just a Few Days Before Ford’s Plane Crash
While chatting with TheDailyMail on Sunday, Carrie Fisher revealed that she had a car accident in Los Angeles just a few days before Harrison Ford’s plane crash. We at SW7N strongly advise Mark Hamill to stay home at least for the next few days.
All joking aside, while Fisher didn’t sustain any injuries, her incident could have ended really bad. She told The Mail:
‘It wasn’t that serious and I wasn’t hurt but it’s the first car accident I’ve ever had. I drove home and that’s when the wheel came off my BMW. My assistant told me I could have died if the wheel had come off when I was on the freeway.’ Laughing, she added: ‘Then I was watching the news and saw Harrison had his crash. ‘I’m a bit worried it’s the curse of Star Wars.
The actress now fears that one of her other co-stars will also suffer an accident.
‘Things happen in threes,’ she said. ‘I’m about to call Mark Hamill to make sure he’s OK. I have a horrid feeling there’s a curse going on here.’
As you know back in January 1977, Hamill was involved in a car accident which severely injured his nose and cheekbone.
Fisher also briefly discussed Harrison Fords recent crash as well as the accident on The Force Awakens set:
‘The thing about Harrison is that he’s always the coolest dude in the room. He just oozes manly manliness. I’m not surprised he landed the plane in one piece and survived.’
Fisher has not spoken to Ford since the crash, but has sent him some beer. She explained that on one occasion they were planning to fly together. ‘I was messing around and he said, “Look, do you want to fly or can we have a beer?”
‘He wouldn’t have a drink if we were going to fly. It became something of a joke between us that I chose to have a beer that time rather than fly. I sent him some beers to the hospital with the message, “You should have had a beer this time.”’
She added: ‘He’s primal. As a woman you feel safe with him. I fully expect he will be back up there soon – even if he’s told he’s not allowed to. Harrison isn’t someone who follows the normal rules.’
Fisher said Ford’s accident last summer on the set of Star Wars VII – when the door of the Millennium Falcon dropped on to his leg, shattering it – was ‘more serious than was let on’.
She added: ‘It could have been billions of times worse.’
Star Wars curse or not, one thing is certain – they both got lucky and got away from these horrible 3 incidents without any serious injuries. We all hope there won’t be more of these from now on.

Seems like some bad Juju is hitting them kinda reminds me of Final Destination maybe Mark Hamill should lay low just in case.
Yeah, duct-tape the walls to make sure nothing falls on him, just in case, that sort of deal?
Correction. His face should lay low just in case.
Huh, well how about that?
Hamill gets in a car crash in between ANH and TESB.
Ford gets in a plane crash in between TFA and [insert name here – ep VIII]
I wonder if there’s some paradox where only the good star wars trilogies get near-fatal accidents around cast members in between the 1st and 2nd installment {cue the Twilight Zone theme-song
Following this thread, Han Solo will probably see a ghost and meet his father in Ep VIII, and Luke will fall for some girl he met in TFA…
Han Solo’s father is something i’ve long wondered about. and i’m sure the ST will get very metaphysical and esoteric about life, death and the force.
Agreed. I remember reading the pros and cons (as Lucas gave them) thirty-plus years ago, with the prequels being political and sociological, the midquels (original three) being about self discovery and self-realization, and the sequels being about philosophical and moral dilemmas and having the wisdom to get through it. I’m hoping that Disney at least sticks with that.
Um, I was joking… [awkward silence]…
Plane engine randomly cuts out?
Wheel of a celebrities BMW randomly comes off?
If I didn’t know any better I would say someone is out to get them…
Stay safe Mark!!!
‘Wheel’ coming off, engine failing. Sounds like they are back in the Falcon!
Carrie Fisher – A Real Life Heroine.
As most of you already know, Carrie Fisher crash landed her private car – a BMW – on her way home days ago when a wheel came off. But in doing so, she also managed to avoid nearby houses, a school and other buildings, undoubtedly saving a number of lives…
Plus, she’s probably used to crashing vehicles from her partying days.
This is her first car accident.
Only the first one she can remember.
Tool Head 817-538-7126
exactly. or, this is merely the first REPORTED accident 😉
all kidding aside, glad both Carrie and Ford are doing well
Ford is a hero because he saved two kids being trapped in the wilderness.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Ford is a cool dude with decent moral grounding.
That said, flying a helicopter to find someone in the woods when there’s little to no risk involved isn’t exactly heroic. It’s incredibly helpful, but not heroic.
Maybe my standards are a little too high.
When I think heroic I get the image of a marine dashing out onto a cliff where he knows he’ll get hit by 30 ak47s in order to get a good radio signal to call for rescue evac to save his buddies, which by the way, is very likely to earn a postumous medal of honor.
Or jumping in front of a train to save a kid.
Call me old fashioned, but Mr. Ford is just acting like any self-respecting man, or woman for that matter, should be expected to behave.
It should be normal for people to pop over the lend a helicopter, in fact it actually is.
If you’re gonna call Ford a hero, count every other rescue pilot first.
Don’t get me wrong, I admire the man. But it’s more sad on the part of humanity in general that valuing others safety is considered some great, legendary act of heroism. It’s not, it’s basic morality and decency. It’s the least he could do. If I were in his shoes I’d do the same thing, and so, I hope, would you whoever’s still reading this.

Mr. Ford, is that you? 😉
When I think of of a hero, its when my father told me he loved me.
He was not a dashing Marine, he did drive a Harley Davidson at work and put criminals in jail in a major metropolitan area, had been decorated, but he never really cared for medals.
The definition of the modern day hero, is someone who makes good decisions.
GI Joe is not the only great american hero,
people who make good decisions are.
LOL That’s great.
lol, ya gotta love this site!
Conspiracy theory: Disney is trying to kill off a member of the old cast of Star Wars to attract more people to episode VII. They sabotaged Ford’s plane and Fisher’s BMW to this end.
Fortunately, the Force is with both of them.
You’re onto something here…
It isn’t Disney himself, he has been encased in carbonite all these years.
THAT DAMN MOUSE!
Mark Hamill had cut his finger about an hour after Ford had crashed citing “I was in shock after hearing he had crash landed on a golf course” 😮
Maybe randy quaid is right……. Star whackers are real!
Would it help if I got out and pushed?
It might . . .
George is getting his revenge 😉
It’s like a Columbo mystery.
That’s just silly
I have a different theory to put forward. These are not in fact accidents or coincidences. Of course they are presented to be accidents to the media, but are in fact injuries caused by voodoo dolls. Someone ? put a pin in Harrison fords doll and his leg gave way and he fell. Someone put a pin in Carrie Fisher`s voodoo doll and caused her to have an accident. Who ever has Mark Hamill`s voodoo doll I dread to think. The question is who is the one putting the pins in the dolls ? Perhaps someone with a grudge who knows. They need to find out fast before they start pinning up Mark Hamill`s doll.
Lol amazing
The ghost of Glen Larson?
(*shivers* at the thought).
WE’RE DOOMED!
If there is a curse, it may mean Demons interfere and try to destroy them. Everybody PRAY to protect them!
People it’s life, sooner or later bad mojo days happen to us all. Flying a plane just means the end result is going to be lot more dangerous than, say, peeing in the wrong direction and over the floor even though it’s pointed straight (gentlemen and lady boys)
omg, what is going on with y’all??
These events are actually just practical effects being filmed for Ep. VIII. We know JJ likes to keep it real.
Hooded George Lucas is using the dark side influence on them!
I just crashed my golf cart on a golf course. Fortunately I avoided smashing into the nearby houses, schools and churches, thus saving many Bothans.
How typical, blame it on STAR WARS, which has nothing to do with Harrison flying into a golf course, and Carrie driving off a road.
Curse of Star wars my A.s.s! If there was a curse then stuff would have happened to them right after 1983 after return of the jedi.
Harrison did many successful movies, and Mark did some movies and voice acting, and Carrie some movies and so on. So hardly a curse!
You’re wrong, the production has been cursed since day one when three crew members were killed getting aerial shots.
No no, all ya’ll are way off!
Isn’t it obvious that Pharrell Williams is behind the whole thing?
Think about it.
Pharrell is always famed for being a singer AND a producer AND a fashion designer AND an enviromentalist. how hard would it be to add another thing to that list, say, sabotage funding and planning extraordinaire?
I’m betting Warner Bros put him up to this. The two always had a pact against disney.
If I’m right [which I am] then Marvel guys had better watch their backs too, escpecially Robert D Jr…
just saying…
My theory also.
One thing’s for sure, someone in the world is going to get in a car crash today. Not sure it’ll be someone from a Star Wars movie but otherwise you can take it to the bank.
Guys, guys, guys, you’re getting it all wrong. This is God complaining that Han Solo dies in SW7. You take Han Solo, so he takes Harrison Ford. Fair trade, amirite?
I’m pretty sure that’s not how God works.
Give me one reason God cares about Star Wars AT ALL. Harrison Ford the human being takes priority (i think)
Since it was asked and it’s a vitally important question, I’ll take off my fandboy hat for a minute and answer it. Because God cares about everything in his creation (not just Star Wars) that even now, he maintains down to the last particle, up to the largest star and into our most secretive thoughts and actions which he will make us all give an account for after death.
But you are right, that is not how God works according to his own word.
This deal’s getting worse all the time..
Empress Leia is right.
Let’s drop this sequel trilogy idea, have one spin off with Han & turn TFA’s into that, one spin off with Luke & a trilogy with Empress Leia that the other two make brief cameos in.
Then it’s take your pick.
The Empress Leia trilogy to be written by Stephenie Myer and Directed by Michael Bay, that would be ta sauce Dsynay, or as Han would say:
“Bring ’em on, I’d prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around”
This is George Lucas mad at Disney for doing the ST without following his outlines. He’s performing voodoo magic on the cast.
Thank you Viral Hide for using the word HERO to describe Harrison…it was Appropriately Used!!!
