Fisher’s beloved French bulldog has ‘Last Jedi’ cameo

Carrie Fisher and her beloved therapy dog Gary are together again in a galaxy far, far away.

A sharp-eyed fan spotted an alien creature with a startling resemblance to the French bulldog in a picture from the set of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” which was released this month.

The film was the last project the 60-year-old Fisher filmed before her Dec. 27, 2016, death. It’s also her final appearance as a steely Princess Leia.

Clair Henry of the fan site Fantha Tracks tweeted her suspicions to director Rian Johnson, who wrote, “Wow, good eyes!” to confirm the space critter was Gary.

Fisher, who suffered from bipolar disorder, never went anywhere without her cherubic buddy.

After the movie star’s untimely death, her assistant Corby McCoin adopted Gary, who has a massive social media following.
