In Anaheim, CA, hundreds of Star Wars fans paid respect to Fisher in a unique way last night.
Star Wars fans celebrated the beloved late Carrie Fisher, known best for her liconic role as Princess Leia, with a lightsaber vigil on Wednesday (December 28). Fisher, 60, died on Tuesday after a massive heart attack.
In Anaheim, CA at Downtown Disney, fans of all ages dressed up as Princess Leia and held toy lightsabers in her honor.
"It was a random thing," said organizer Jeff Rowan to Rolling Stone. "I decided that I think we should be paying homage to her and a lightsaber vigil was very fitting — even though technically she never really even carried a lightsaber — but I thought that it was a very fitting way for us to say goodbye to her."
Another lightsaber vigil was held by movie chain Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX last night.
