Billie Lourd Honors Mom Carrie Fisher on 'Star Wars' Day with Heartwarming Tribute
Celebratory Tribute for Princess Leia on Star Wars Anniversary - Celebrating the Legacy of Princess Leia on Star Wars Anniversary
Billie Lourd, 32, paid a heartfelt tribute to her iconic mom Carrie Fisher on the Star Wars fan day, May 4th. She shared a touching Instagram post featuring her adorable kiddos, four-year-old Kingston Fisher and two-year-old Jackson Joanne, watching their late grandma in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" from 1983.
The caption read, "May the 4th be with us 💗" capturing the essence of the much-loved Star Wars quote, "May the Force be with you." Fans were quick to shower their love, with one writing, "Your mother inspired generations - and now her grandchildren can see her shine. What a powerful moment." Another fan chimed in, "Showing your children her legacy is the right way to educate. We love Carrie forever, may the 4th be with you and your amazing family."
Since Carrie's untimely death in 2016, Billie has been keeping her mom's legacy alive. Last year, she shared a moving post on her birthday, "On my mother's birthday, I always try to celebrate her as much as possible, but today I just wanted to celebrate with her." She went on to express her mixed feelings over the years, seemingly grieving and angered by her loss at times, but ultimately realizing the power of love on her darkest days.
Carrie's Eternal Presence in Star Wars
Fisher, who played the iconic princess Leia Organa in the "Star Wars" trilogy, passed away at 60, four days after a heart attack. Her memorable role didn't end there, as she reprised her role in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015) and, despite her tragic demise, footage of her from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (2017) and archival material were seamlessly integrated in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" (2019), keeping her indomitable spirit alive in the universe she helped shape.
