A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, a little girl watched a movie about a princess that didnโt 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

The “#CarrieOnForever” hashtag has taken over the day, becoming a big trending topic on social media. It’s just a testament to how much of an impact Fisher had as a Star Wars character, an actress, activist, and very human person, dealing with her own demons. It’s also a testament to the fact that fans will be remembering the light that Fisher brought to so many people, rather than the tragic circumstances of her end.
You can catch Carrie Fisher‘s powerful final performance as Leia in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which is now in theaters.
