Star Wars fans, if you're as devastated over Carrie Fisher's death as the rest of the world, you're probably looking for some kind of a pick-me-up. Some way to remember Fisher for being full of life, despite her tragic death at age 60. So, in honor of the legacy the actor has left, let's take a look back on her humble beginnings. What better way to reflect and reminisce, than to go through pictures of a young Fisher on the Star Wars set? They're sweet and impossibly fun to look at, and it's a way to celebrate her life rather than focus on her passing.

As William Shatner tweeted in honor of Fisher, these photos encompass the "wonderful talent and light" she possessed. Despite the actor's anguish over that light being "extinguished," bringing forth these photos prove that her bright spirit still lingers. And, that it will continue on for years to come. Besides, these pictures show the camaraderie between all those who worked on the Star Wars sets, making the cast, crew, and fandom feel like an extended family more than ever.

As an homage to both Fisher and her portrayal Princess Leia, here are pictures of the actor, rom the Star Wars sets, in her youth:
