LONDON -- There's a very sweet illustration doing the rounds this week, of Princess Leia from Star Wars affectionately kissing Carl Fredricksen from Up.
Carrie Fisher, who plays Leia in the movies, retweeted the image Tuesday, instantly winning it thousands of retweets and likes.

The drawing is the work of Florida-based British artist James Hance, who has been creating beautiful artworks based on the Star Wars realm for some time.
He created a whole host of illustrations portraying Star Wars characters in Winnie The Pooh's universe for a watercolor series entitled Wookie the Chew - which he's been selling on his Etsy page - with other artworks on his website. He's just released an audio book of the characters' adventures too.
Here's a selection of the finest:
