This folder is for tributes and remembrances of the people who had brought a significant impact to the Star Wars universe, either as writers, actors, filmmakers, and others. Death is a natural part of life, and it will eventually claim everyone in turn. But we can remember their contributions and honor them for what they have provided to us all. May the Force be with them.
