"Love you my sister.❤️❤️❤️❤️," Best, 47, wrote in a comment on the sweet post. (He also made his own post, honoring The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker's Kelly Marie Tran.) Other stars like Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels and Billie Lourd got in on the fun too, with the latter paying tribute to Carrie Fisher by dressing her son Kingston Fisher, 7 months, as her late mother's character Princess Leia. "💕♏️🅰️🌱 ✝️♓️📧 4️⃣✝️♓️💕," Lourd, who appeared in the recent Star Wars trilogy as Kaydel Connix, captioned her Instagram post, which also showed Kingston watching one of Fisher's Star Wars scenes while wearing a onesie with Leia artwork and adorable knit hat styled like Leia's iconic double-bun hairdo.

The animated show follows the experimental clones of the Bad Batch as they navigate the rapidly changing galaxy in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. Each member of the group possesses a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. With their unique individual abilities, they take on daring mercenary missions, while attempting to find their new purpose. The Bad Batch's characters were first introduced in The Clone Wars, which premiered in 2008 on Cartoon Network and wrapped its final season on Disney+ last year. Several other Star Wars-themed cinematic experiences (including a crossover short with The Simpsons, titled The Force Awakens From Its Nap) are now available to stream on Disney+ to mark the holiday.
