The Madonna of Carrie Fisher with her cherished dog Gary and a raised middle finger perfectly capture her fearless willingness to speak her mind, be herself and not worry about what other people think.
Of course, Carrie Fisher was more than just the actress, she was also a writer, a comic and an incisive, unapologetic iconoclast.
The pictures Mark Hamill chose for this tribute are perfect as well and speak to how much the relationship meant to him.
The lessons she taught about truly being yourself are now being carried on in a new generation of Star Wars heroines.
