It's hard to believe it's been a full year since we brought you the devastating news that Carrie Fisher had passed away following her heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 23, but today is indeed the anniversary of the actress' death.

Tributes from friends and fans have been pouring in all morning, and Fisher's Star Wars costar Mark Hamill has shared one of his own, repeating Luke Skywalker's final line to his sister Leia towards the end of The Last Jedi.


It remains to be seen how the final installment in the new trilogy deals with Leia's absence, but whatever happens, The Last Jedi served as a fitting sendoff for Carrie Fisher and her iconic character.

Shame we'll never see Episode 9 the way they were saying, being a Leia movie the way FA was Han and LJ was Luke. We'll miss you Carrie.

Wow. I love those pics. Still hits me hard. Not to take anything away from real life princesses but when I saw Star Wars at age 5, she was the first Princess I was ever really exposed to.

We love you and miss you Carrie

Really cool and/or touching pictures. Seeing her role in the movie knowing she was gone definitely felt weird. I hope they have a good plan to handle her absence in the future.

She should have went out at the end of Last Jedi. I agree with Kevin Smith. Luke should have been there in the present, and Leia should have also passed. Then you truly get the feeling of the rebellion being reborn and them having to find a way to defeat the enemy in the final installment

@Supes17 - this is something I've thought about a lot since watching TLJ. There's a scene toward the end of the movie where I thought Leia was gonna stay behind and might have died to give the Resistance a chance to escape but she ended up going with them. If they'd cut that scene slightly earlier, it could've worked as a send off for her, given her a heroic departure, and they'd only have to cut one minor scene with her in the finale from the movie.

Plus, given a certain spoiler that happens around the same time in the movie, it would've given the film a very nice sense of poetic symmetry both in its own right and across the saga. Plus, as you said, it means the torch is truly passed on for 9 in a meaningful, symbolic way.
