Unfortunately, not everyone was so respectful. Cinnabon tried to take advantage of the news for self promotion tweeting a drawing of Fisher in her iconic Princess Leia hairdo with their cinnamon buns in place of her hair buns. It was taken down after only 45 minutes.
On the lighter and much sadder side, Carrie Fisher’s dog Gary made these tweets:
