The Force is very strong with one southern Indiana farmer who planted a corn maze outlining the face, and hair, of Carrie Fisher's "Star Wars" character Princess Leia.
The Associated Press reports that longtime "Star Wars" fan Jeremy Goebel came up with the design featuring Leia's face and her famous hairstyle in February. He then planted the corn in the spring by using a GPS device.
Above Leia's head, it reads: "Carrie Fisher RIP 1956-2016." The Evansville Courier and Press reports Goebel uploaded the design into a tractor computer that then used GPS to plant the Fisher-inspired maze.
He tells the newspaper he had "always been a 'Star Wars' fan" and just wanted to honor Fisher. The actress known for portraying Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, died Dec. 27, 2016, after suffering a medical emergency on board a plane.
Fisher reprised the role she made famous with her iconic braided buns in 2015's "The Force Awakens," and as a digitally rendered version in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." In addition to these, Fisher will posthumously appear in "The Last Jedi" as General Leia Organa.
For those interested in checking out the maze, it's located at Goebel Farms in Evansville, Indiana and opens to customers this weekend. Cost for adults is $5, $4 for children younger than 12, and those younger than 3 can enter for free.
