On the one-year anniversary of Carrie Fisher’s death, fans and friends highlighted memories of her with a #CarrieOnForever hashtag on Twitter.
The Star Wars actress died at age 60 on Dec. 27, 2016, just days after suffering a heart attack on a flight. Her mother, singer Debbie Reynolds, died a day later at age 84.
Fisher had already filmed her scenes for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” which opened this month. The film credits include an onscreen dedication that reads, “in loving memory of our princess, Carrie Fisher.”
Fisher’s co-star Mark Hamill sparked the raft of tributes Wednesday with #CarrieOnForever. The dog in the image he tweeted is her beloved French bulldog, Gary, who inspired an alien in the film.
Fisher was recalled by many others as well.
I got to meet Carrie Fisher at a signing once. I was suited up as Boba Fett and got to escort her to the table. As I did so she leaned back and told me” I’m not saying that I’m drunk. But it’s your job to catch me if I start to fall down today.” #StarWars #CarrieOnForever pic.twitter.com/QHbu9iosPH

A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, a little girl watched a movie about a princess that didn’t need saving, and she grew up and became an aerospace engineer that builds spacecraft and that takes no crap. Thank you, Carrie. #CarrieOnForever pic.twitter.com/n7LM5f8VJO
