Mark Hamill's tweet about Carrie Fisher will tug at your heartstrings.

Carrie Fisher's untimely passing in 2016 broke our nerdy hearts into a million pieces. The loss of the legendary woman behind General Leia Organa was a devastating blow to pop culture, leaving a blast crater in the space once held by brilliant actor, writer and activist.

It's just a garbage world to live in where Carrie Fisher does not get to take her final curtain call in Star Wars: Episode IX, as Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill already got to do with their beloved characters—possible Force ghosts notwithstanding. But that's where we are, and that already difficult circumstance is compounded, for those behind the scenes, by the question of where things go from here, with another movie—one intended to include Fisher and Leia—still on the horizon.

In The Last Jedi, General Organa takes Poe to task after he defies her direct order, slapping the flyboy commander before demoting him. The scene required many takes, all of which are helpfully compiled in this gag reel.

Carrie Fisher just won a posthumous Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album, for the audiobook recording of her memoir The Princess Diarist.

There are the types of people in this world, who by just living their truth and sharing that with the world, they've made it better. Carrie Fisher was one of those people and I'm glad we had her in this world. She is never forgotten, she is in the Force with us always, reminding us to be loud, be vulgar and flip off assholes.

"Given that we have a beautiful, complete performance from her that I think audiences deserve to see," said director Rian Johnson, "and I think it will mean a lot for them, that ray of hope from Leia ... With this movie I just wanted audiences to have this performance."

Carrie Fisher's loss is something we are still processing, as people who knew her through her writing, her acting, and her wit. So to those who knew her best, there is no doubt the pain of her loss is still palpable.

The Last Jedi reportedly includes a touching tribute to everyone's favorite hero-princess-general at the end of the film. So have those Kleenex ready, folks.

You may be aware that Carrie Fisher had a wonderful dog, Gary Fisher. If not, you've been missing out, and you can rectify the situation immediately over at Gary's Instagram. (Gary now lives with Fisher's assistant.) While The Last Jedi may serve as a way for a lot of us to say goodbye to Carrie Fisher, it's also apparently giving Gary the chance to indirectly get in on his mom's final film role.

The Force was strong in Los Angeles this weekend during a press conference for the highly-anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which comes out NEXT WEEK. And during that press conference, we got to see at least one love affair in full-bloom. I'm talking, of course, about the one between Laura Dern and BB-8.

Carrie Fisher has been nominated for a posthumous Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album, for the recording of her memoir The Princess Diarist.

Asked why there's so much jewelry in The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson explained to a fan on Twitter: "Carrie [Fisher] grabbed my arm and told me with great urgency that we needed 'space jewelry.'" She was a treasure.

Today would have been Carrie Fisher's 61st birthday. To celebrate her life, I thought I'd round up some of the amazing stories, speeches, anecdotes, and interviews we've published about and from her over the years.

After hearing he'd assaulted one of her friends, Carrie Fisher reportedly hand-delivered a cow tongue and a threat to one creeper Hollywood producer.

The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson said that Carrie Fisher "really wanted to do right" by all the "girls who grew up watching Star Wars, when Leia was the only female hero on the screen," and that she worked to edit the script accordingly.

This behind-the-scenes featurette for The Last Jedi shows Carrie Fisher grinning, joking, and getting her General on while filming.
