PHOTOS: Mark Hamill Tributes Carrie Fisher Through a Series of Photos

Now that The Last Jedi finally bulldozed its way into theaters this holiday season to great fanfare and glowing reviews, Mark Hamill celebrated the film's success and honored the late Carrie Fisher on the occasion of her one-year anniversary since her death.


Hamill, who has been revered for his iconic portrayal of Luke Skywalker, tweeted, "No one's ever really gone...," accompanied by the hashtags, #AlwaysWithUs and #CarrieOnForever. A series of pictures of the two together through different stages of the film's franchise followed the tweet, along with a portrait of the fearless luminary flipping the bird while holding her beloved dog, Bruno.

The tweet references a line from The Last Jedi in which Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia part ways. Luke imparts to his sister, “No one’s ever really gone.” Let the tears flow.

Carrie Fisher met her costar in 1977 to film Star Wars. Although the cast didn't click right away, the actors became very close over time after the commercial success of the movie.

She made an immediate impression on director George Lucas, who said:

She was extremely smart; a talented actress, writer and comedienne with a very colorful personality that everyone loved. In Star Wars she was our great and powerful princess—feisty, wise and full of hope in a role that was more difficult than most people might think.

Fisher suffered a medical emergency during a flight from London to Los Angeles on December 23, 2016. Upon landing, Fisher was rushed to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center where she was placed on a ventillator. She died of cardiac arrest four days later, at age 60, in the intensive care unit.

After fans collected themselves from Hamill's poignant tribute, they responded with loving tweets of their own.

As the credits rolled at the end of The Last Jedi, the studio paid tribute. If there weren't dry eyes by then, this brought on the waterworks.

Fisher was everybody's princess.

She will be remembered chiefly for being an outspoken force in the industry and for her sardonic wit and brashness. She mentioned in her 2008 book, Wishful Drinking, that she wanted her obituary to read, "I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra."

She never received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but fans made her one anyway by memorializing her with the words, "Carrie Fisher may the force be with you always."

Mom And Stepdad Go Viral After Forcing Adult Daughter To Sign Contract To Live At Home—And People Are Divided

In today's economy, it's becoming more common than ever before for adult children to continue to live with their parents after they graduate from high school, while they work their first job, or even while they go to college. Others, just as commonly, will return to their parents' home after going away for college or an internship.

Understanding the financial benefits, and sometimes necessity, of this, some parents use this arrangement to support their children while still trying to teach them something about life, like asking them to pay a little bit of rent, to cover a bill, or to help with groceries, and typically take on a few more responsibilities around the house.

Dem Rep. Hilariously Trolls Trump Official For Having No Idea How Solar Power Works In Viral Clip

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was trolled by California Democratic Representative Jared Huffman after he, testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee, seemed to think solar panels are unreliable because they don't work when the sun goes down.

The sun produces heat and light through solar, or electromagnetic, radiation. Solar energy technologies capture that radiation and convert it into usable power. The two primary forms of solar technology are photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP).
