Carrie - best known for her role in the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy, as well as her later work as an author - died in December 2016, after suffering a heart attack while on board a plane.

‘Catastrophe’ marks one of her last ever appearances on screen, and she’s also set to appear as Leia once again in the upcoming eighth instalment of the ‘Star Wars’ series, ‘The Last Jedi’.
