Last month, Lourd also paid tribute to her mother at the “Star Wars” celebration in Orlando, Fla., by giving a speech and by wearing a custom Tom Ford dress that was very similar to the one worn by Fisher in “Episode IV.”

“Feeling the ultimate strength of the force from all of the incredible fans at #starwarscelebration after our tribute to my #momby,” she wrote after posting a picture of herself at the event on Instagram.
