Just a few weeks away from the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill is taking time to remember his on-screen sister, Carrie Fisher.
In an interview on The Ellen Show, Hamill discussed how much he misses his co-star and how he chooses to remember her:
“She’s like an irreplaceable member of the family, but the whole world feels that way. We are all sort of mourning her. I always think of her in the present tense. I don’t think of her in the past. Any time you were with her it was just fun.”
The two starred in the original Star Wars trilogy spanning from 1977 to 1983 and reprised their respective roles decades later in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Hamill expresses that even off-screen, the two shared a very special bond:
“Carrie used to drive me crazy. We were more like siblings than I thought, because we would have these huge fights. We wouldn’t see each other for months or even years, and then you would see each other and remind yourself how much fun it was to be together.
Not only could she make me laugh, but I could make her laugh. That was our goal.”
Carrie Fisher passed away on December 27, 2016 at the age of 60. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the late actress’ final performance.
Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Laura Dern, Kelly Marie Tran and Benicio del Toro.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be released in theaters on December 15, 2017.

One of the biggest criticisms about the previous Star Wars canon, now dubbed Legends, is that ancillary material never connected. Since Disney has taken over and the establishment of the Star Wars Story Group, that has all changed. The modus operandi has been to have everything connect but not in an intrusive way– one that feels more natural to reward the more hardcore fans as well as to intrigue new fans.
