He details everything from their first meeting in London—“she was just so instantly ingratiating and funny and outspoken”—to their shared “second act with the new movies.” Their on-set shenanigans, their first realization of Star Wars’ success, their moments of being “furious with one another and wouldn’t speak for weeks and weeks,” it’s all there.

But most of all, Hamill remembers Fisher as being “committed to joy.” 

“I would do crazy things to amuse her on the set,” he writes. “Making her laugh was always a badge of honor.”
