It’s been four months since Carrie Fisher died, but it still feels surreal. The annual Star Wars Celebration took a moment to honor her memory once again with some never-before-seen moments of the actress on the set of the iconic films.
Fisher’s Star Wars castmates and friends gave her a special goodbye during a panel. It’s quite chilling when you think about Fisher’s “last words” on screen before she died. At the end of Rogue One , we see Princess Leia receive the Death Star blueprint and utter the word “Hope.” Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, also took the stage to share a few words about her mother.
"In our world, Star Wars became a religion and a way of life. I wanted to be here with you because I know you feel the same way," Lourd told the audience, USA Today reports.
Star Wars creator George Lucas choked up as he tried to recall a special memory he had of Fisher. One of the best moments in the tribute is hearing Fisher tell some of her hilarious jokes. The one that definitely got us was her advice to Daisy Ridley when she first met her. The snippet of her famous Wishful Drinking quote about Lucas is also comedic gold. Check out the video below to see Fisher's Star Wars tribute.
We’re going to end this with another one of Fisher’s Wishful Drinking quotes. Remember Fisher as the person who once said: “No matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.”
May the force be with you, Carrie. We can’t wait to see you in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
