She changed the ending of Star Wars IV : A New Hope.

This absolutely MADE THE MOVIE end wonderfully, and made Harrison Ford return for two more movies, enabling the series to continue! Without her, George Lucas would have been another failed scifi director ...

Finally, nothing can hold George back now, the full scale of that magnificent beast can finally be unleashed. (but seriously, RIP and condolences to George and family)
