Oh come on.. Don't turn this into a feminist debate. Frontier knows exactly who she was and how much she meant to the world.

Hardly "turning this into a feminist debate". Denying that angle is a bit odd anyway. It does look like a lesser memorial.

It would be interesting to find a list of all the stations memorialised for famous people and have a look at the male/female station/outpost ratio.

I'm not denying the scale of the memorial... I'm just denying it has anything to do with gender. Thats just stupid.

Anyway... Sry for off topic. Ill stop now.

I think its a bit quick to say that other people are denying that.
Personally I'm viewing her as a character, not as a woman, she IS a woman, yes, but that doesn't give her any plus or minus in my book, gender doesn't matter, fact is while star wars left a big impression on many people, star trek is.....significantly bigger.
Add that it really doesn't make sense for a character that has been fighting for people suddenly would be represented with a big station, outpost is more fitting, though personally I would think a planet named after her making a bit more sense, maybe as close to alderaan as can be found within reasonable time.

Rather make a large asteroid somewhere, name it Polis Massa and put a base on it. More accurate. :p

Carrie, rather than Fisher, would seem a little 'warmer', 'softer', a little less official, and perhaps more fitting for a place of rest and remembrance...

Does the place have some sort of nice description, or maybe a data beacon. Something about a beloved rebel princess.

I will have to disagree with many of ya'll. Nimoy was around for far longer and brought an alien race into our homes. No disrespect to Carrie, who played an epic character in star wars which was truly a classic set. I see a small outpost named Fisher's Rest as truly respectful of some one who left us far to soon.. RIP old friend. Hells Bells, I always thought she was a hottie too, 2 years younger than me. :)

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher will be buried together. They will be buried side by side during a joint ceremony in Los Angeles, US media said on Tuesday.
