“Star Wars” fans have been paying tribute to Fisher whose iconic character helped organise a rebellion against the Empire.
At one event in Taiwan they held a minute’s silence while holding lightsabers.
The organiser said Princess Leia was a very special character who not only played an important part in “Star Wars” culture but provided a “big breakthrough” in depicting stronger female characters in cinema.
