Even some of the biggest fans of Family Guy might not know that one of the show's greatest regular guest stars was Princess Leia herself. For 25 episodes—beginning in 2005—Carrie Fisher provided the voice of Angela, Peter Griffin's boss at the Pawtucket Pat Brewery.
Though the show dedicated its January 2017 premiere to Fisher shortly after her death, Family Guy directly addressed the late Hollywood icon this weekend. The episode opened with Peter speaking at Angela's funeral.
It's a surprisingly heartfelt turn for the irreverent show. The tribute references Fisher's beloved Star Wars character, along with a number of classic TV sitcom theme songs. Family Guy was one of Fisher's final projects, with episodes featuring her voice airing well into 2017. The actress's final film credit will be in the upcoming Star Wars movie, which will feature unused footage of Fisher from previous films to complete the story of Princess Leia.
