The lovable phenomenon Grumpy Cat recently passed away at the age of 7, and Star Wars icon Mark Hamill paid a delightful tribute to her on social media. Hamill shared several photos with the caption "She was a part of all of us. 😒 #RIPGrumpyCat 😾", and the first photo was of Grumpy Cat's trademark expression. The second photo featured Hamill on the set as his hair was getting worked on, and his expression was quite close to Grumpy Cat's.

The final photo was of his friend Harrison Ford, and while the photo itself didn't feature a grumpy expression, Grumpy Cat would be quite proud of the quote, which reads "Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted." We'll leave that for you to judge, but you can check out the humorous tribute below.

The family that took care of Grumpy Cat announced the sad news online Tuesday. In their statement, they explained that Grumpy had encountered complications from a urinary tract infection, but also let fans know she died peacefully on Tuesday morning in her mother Tabatha's arms. You can read their full statement below.
