Thrilling behind the scenes look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Last December Carrie Fisher suddenly died aged 60-years-old.
Star Wars fans had lost their Princess Leia, who had recently finished shooting The Last Jedi.
In both the upcoming sequel and 2015’s The Force Awakens she starred opposite her daughter Billie Lourd.
The 25-year-old has now revealed the advice her late mother gave her on the set of Star Wars Episode VII.

Speaking with Town & Country, Billie said: ““The thing is, I was bizarrely comfortable on set.
“My mother would pull me aside and be like, ‘It’s weird that you’re so comfortable here.
“This is the most uncomfortable environment in the world. If you’re comfortable here, you should do this.’”

Now we’ve had to deal with it in very practical ways and in a form of storytelling we know is going to honour her and keep her soul alive, but it is an unfortunate reality that we’re just going to have to handle.
“It’s been tough emotionally – and logistically we’ll figure that part out, but she was just very important to the Star Wars family and that was the hardest part.”
Star Wars Episode IX will be released in UK cinemas on June 21, 2019.
