It's been a tragic week for the world with the sad passing of three huge celebrities. But one of the most upsetting deaths has been that of 60-year-old Carrie Fisher, who we all know as the badass Princess Leia from Star Wars.
Her character is so iconic that Leia has been the subject of many parodies and spoofs over the years, but one of the most recent was a short clip by some Kerry students. Imagine the group's surprise when none other than Princess Leia retweeted their video with a message: "Shtar Wars - The Kingdom Shtrikes Back. Graham Norton sent me this as punishment for something".

Well, their reaction was huge, says their lecturer.
Speaking to Radio Kerry, IT Tralee Lecturer Bob Jackson said, “She was sent the clip by Graham Norton and presumably she watched it and then retweeted it. It was a brilliant reaction from the students, particularly for one of the students Shannon who did the voice for Carrie Fisher [in the video].
“For Carrie Fisher to respond to a recording that we had done from her original was a fantastic experience for the students,” he said.
Awesome.
You can watch the hilarious video below. Rest in peace, Carrie.
