It was just announced that star of stage and screen, Alec Guiness, died today at the age of 86. I have just heard this on the news, and was shocked. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe we should have a moment of silence for a fallen Jedi.
Sir Alec Guiness (Obi-Wan/Ben Kenobi) 1914-2000

Wise, Honorable Jedi. He will be missed.
Yeah, I was just about to eat when they said it on the news, I immediatly lost my appetite. I'm sad, that along with the fact that my grandmother can die between now and the next 3 weeks.

No!

That really is sad. He was a great actor in all of the movies I saw him in (okay, only the three SW movies....). But I know he was in plenty of others.
Hi, I'm just replying to say that my grandmother's dead now, she died wednesday eve.

Sorry to hear that, Pedro.

Thanks guys, I'd say you're all welcome at the funeral this saturday, but you'd all have to get a plane to Belgium.
You're all good friends.

Thanks again,
It's actually quite amazing, she had several internal bleedings (in the brain) she managed to survive that for 5 months, at least, the heart, lungs and brain did. I think she understood everything we said, but she was hardly able to response. Must be frustrating.
alec guiness was the best. sorry pedro about what happened.

May the force be with you, always.
