The premiere of latest installation of the far, far away franchise opened with a moving tribute to the late star Carrie Fisher.
Director and writer of the film, Rian Johnson introduced the film’s world premiere from LA with an homage to its lost princess saying, “Let’s all have a blast tonight for Carrie.”

Among the celebrity guests in attendance at the European premiere were Prince William and Price Harry. The two arrived at Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday. In November, star of the film, John Bodega who plays stormtrooper-turned-resistance-fighter Finn, confirmed that the two royals both have cameos in the film as stormtroppers.
