Try not to tear up while watching this Carrie Fisher tribute from Star Wars Celebration

Disney and Lucasfilm are celebrating the Star Wars saga this weekend during the huge Star Wars Celebration convention in Orlando. They kicked things off with a packed panel called "40 Years of Star Wars," celebrating many of the actors and crew that have made the galaxy far, far away so close to people's hearts.

The panel featured appearances from George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and other iconic people, but everything stopped and took a more somber tone when it came time to honor everyone's favorite princess, Carrie Fisher, who died in 2016.

Have the tissues nearby when you watch this touching tribute.

The video was introduced by Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd. "My mom used to say she never knew where Princess Leia ended and Carrie Fisher began," Lourd said to the crowd. "She went from being an unknown actress, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, to Princess Leia. ... She was imperfect in many ways, but her imperfections and willingness to speak about them are what made her more than perfect. ... That was why she loved you, because you accepted and embraced all of her."
