Carrie Fisher (Credit: Getty/Andreas Rentz) It was 12 months ago this Wednesday when Carrie Fisher — writer, mother, actor and Princess Leia of the “Star Wars” franchise — passed away. Fisher’s tragic death came four days after what proved to be a fatal health emergency on plane during approach to Los Angeles International Airport. The death of the woman who played such a central role in the childhoods (and, yes, adulthoods) of so many hit pretty hard in 2016, coloring the releases of both “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and this month’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” the movie that marked Fisher’s last on-screen appearance. That sense of loss, of ache and of true, unvarnished adoration was apparent again Wednesday as celebrities and fans alike looked back on Fisher’s life with a smile on their digital faces and tears in their virtual eyes. Using the 100-percent appropriate Twitter hashtag #CarrieOnForever, co-stars, friends and unconnected admirers weighed in.
