The Sweet Way Billie Lourd Is Honoring Late Mom Carrie Fisher for Star Wars Day 

Billie Lourd isn’t letting May the Fourth pass her by without giving her mom some love. 

In celebration of what fans of the sci-fi series deem Star Wars day May 4, Billie honored her late mother Carrie Fisher’s depiction of Princess Leia by having her and husband Austen Rydell’s kids Kingston, 3, Jackson Joane, 2, watching the 1977 film. 

And Billie wrote in the caption of her May 4 post, using emojis, “May the 4th”

Billie’s sweet update comes just a few months after she commemorated the eighth anniversary of her mother’s tragic 2016 death. 

“It has been 8 years since my mom died,” the 32-year-old wrote in a December post. “As my son would say ‘that’s a lot!’ I always dread this day. I spend so much time leading up to it thinking about how awful I’m going to feel. And my dread is usually right. I woke up this morning with a dark cloud over me.”
