We also got a reunion between Luke and Han. Amazing.
This year sees the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and while fans of the world’s most beloved saga are eagerly anticipating the trailer for The Last Jedi, the sense of celebration and optimism isn’t the same due to the sad passing of Carrie Fisher.
For Star Wars fans, she will always be Princess Leia.
Tough, funny, rebellious and loved by everyone…that description seems like its perfectly applicable for Carrie Fisher also.
As the actress and renowned screenwriter said, “I am Princess Leia and she is me.”
Well, where better to celebrate the life of one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood than in a room that’s filled with her friends, fans and loved ones?
Take a look.

If you’ve still got a dry eye then this reunion between Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) should be more emotional than Vader’s apology to Luke.
We last saw the two men paired together in Return of the Jedi and you could just sense the electricity* in the room when they were reunited.
We’re not sure if this electrical surge was caused by The Emperor. We’ll look into it.
Take a look.
