Both Jedi and Stormtroopers alike paid their respects to Carrie Fisher the best way they knew how—by bringing out their Lightsabers. Fans gathered at several locations across the country including Anaheim's Disneyland Resort and Austin's Alamo Drafthouse. Attendees coped with this massive disturbance in the Force by dressing themselves and their children up. Some even had their Leia buns on.
Star Wars fans around the world have been shaken by the sudden death of the iconic actress and tributes keep pouring in various forms, like a makeshift star on the Walk of Fame. Through this heartfelt gesture, the rebels are showing up for General Leia Organa one last time. Check out the photos of both vigils below.
