Carrie Fisher's Daughter Honors Mom in Star Wars Day Post

Carrie Fisher's daughter is wishing her followers a happy "May the Fourth" in a special Star Wars-themed Instagram post.

Star Wars fans are familiar with May 4 as Star Wars Day -- a time to wish people a happy "May the Fourth be with you" as a play on the classic movie line "May the force be with you."

Billie Lourd got in on the fan fare and got some help from her famous mom. She shared a picture Saturday of the two of them and captioned the photo by spelling out "May the Fourth" in emojis.

Fisher was best known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. She died in December 2016 at 60 years old. In June 2017, a coroner's report concluded that “sleep apnea and other undetermined factors" contributed to her passing.
