The cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens gathered in London Wednesday night for the film’s European premiere — but the real star of the evening was Carrie Fisher’s French bulldog, Gary.
Gary seemed absolutely thrilled to accompany his mom, known for her role as Leia, to the star-studded event. He got to strut his stuff on the red carpet and hang out with Stormtroopers:

Gary also posed for photos with the cast. Adam Driver was tasked with holding Gary, and he obviously took that role very seriously:

Eventually, Gary calmed down a bit and just started owning the red carpet:
