Mark Hamill has penned a touching tribute to his co-star and on-screen sister Carrie Fisher.

 

Hamill said this about their first meeting:

“I was thinking, ‘Oh my God, it’ll be like working with a high school kid’ But I was just bowled over. I mean she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken. She had a way of just being so brutally candid. I’d just met her but it was like talking to a person you’d known for ten years. She was telling me stuff about her stepfather, about her mom, about Eddie Fisher — it was just harrowing in its detail. I kept thinking, ‘Should I know this?’ I mean, I wouldn’t have shared that with somebody that I had trusted for years and years and years. But she was the opposite. She just sucked you into her world.”
