It's cool that Star Wars is coming back, mostly because that means more public appearances from Carrie Fisher's French bulldog, Gary.

The adorable pup makes a pretty good Princess Leia himself, and has captured the hearts of Fishers' co-stars like Daisy Ridley. Carrie and Gary appeared at the Star Wars Celebration together and he is a natural on the red carpet.

Gary is a therapy dog that helps Fisher deal with her bi-polar disorder. "Gary is mental also. My mother says Gary is a hooligan. Gary is like my heart," Fisher told The Herald Tribune. "Gary is very devoted to me and that calms me down. He’s anxious when he’s away from me."

Nepotism doesn't have to be a bad thing. Just because Gary's human was one of the original three doesn't mean he should be denied the opportunity to run around the forest with Ewoks. No one should be denied that.
