I saw Rouge One a week before this happened!
What a coincidence!

Another Coincidence!

 

[ECG]

The year started with the loss of Natalie Cole, David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Glenn Frey. Now 2016 ends with George Michael, Carrie Fischer and Debbie Reynolds passing. I wouldn't be surprised of another unexpected death in the next few days. It's been that kind of year.

So did everybody else (although we all called it Rogue One). That's not a coincidence, unless you're somehow saying your watching a Star Wars film causes people from Star Wars films to die...

 

[caffeine_demon]

^There's still hope if we all watch some donald trump speeches!

Overshadowed by the other more notable deaths was Richard George Adams (96), who wrote Watership Down - one of my favorite novels when I was a kid.
