As the world continues to mourn the death of beloved actress and writer
Carrie Fisher, her
Force Awakens co-star
Oscar Isaac has shared a special photo of Fisher and her "space sibling"
Mark Hamill from the backlot of
Star Wars: Episode VIII, with both actors taking a break in-costume as their respective characters. Isaac also shared a short tribute he wrote for Fisher in the wake of her passing:
“She had no patience for pretense or small talk. She saw through things, at a different angle, with the gritty wisdom that comes from the hardest lessons. And, man, did she make me laugh. Will miss you dearly, Carrie.”
There's still no word (and there likely won't be for a very long time) on how Fisher's passing will affect future installments of the franchise, but it has been reported that General Leia was
already set to have a much more expanded role in the upcoming film. While Fisher's death was as tragic as they come, Leia's reunion with her brother will certainly serve as a shining light to the many people who will miss her dearly.
