After the sudden and unexpected death of Carrie Fisher this week, Star Wars fans the world over have been remembering the iconic actor who famously played Princess Leia in the original trilogy, and again in The Force Awakens last year.

Naturally players in BioWare's MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic, have been among those celebrating the life of Fisher, in this case they've done so by congregating on different servers in House Organa on the planet Alderaan, a fitting location to gather given the history of her character.

You can see a picture below taken to mark one such gathering, or there's video footage of another here if you'd prefer.

Carrie Fisher passed away this week following a reported heart attack, and the actor, writer and activist will be sorely missed by the millions of people the world over who connected to her work.

Thanks, Kotaku.
