The relationship between Princess Leia and Han Solo was one of the most popular romances in movie history. Today we lost Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, her cinematic love interest over several Star Wars films, paid tribute to the actress and his co-star.
“Carrie was one-of-a-kind…brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely…My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her Mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.”
Last month, Fisher revealed that she had an affair with Ford while filming Star Wars.
Other Star Wars actors have expressed their condolences over Fisher’s death.

I'm deeply saddened at the news of Carrie's passing. She was a dear friend, whom I greatly respected and admired. The force is dark today!

I thought I had got what I wanted under the tree. I didn't. In spite of so many thoughts and prayers from so many. I am very, very sad.
