Carrie Fisher *will* appear as Leia in Star Wars 9 – but not through CGI

Although Star Wars 9 is still a couple of years out, many have speculated as to whether Carrie Fisher – ♐澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:in the wake ofꦺ her untimely death last year – will be reprising her role as General Leia Organa in the final episode of the new trilogy. And 𒊎now we have the answer: yes (but not in the way you might expect).
According to , Fisher’s family and estate have given permission to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm and Disney to use unused footage of Carrie as L𒆙eia in Star Wars 9.
Moving ahead in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars without Carrie Fisher has been on the table for some time (possible spoilers about Carrie Fisher’s future role within) but it seems a decision has finally been made.
It’s refreshing to see Lucasfilm didn’t go down the obvious 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Rogue One route of creating (another) CGI Leia, but it’ll be interesting to see💝 just what footage left on the cutting room floor gets another lease of life in Star Wars 9. Don’t expect a Bruce Lee/Game of Death-style mishmash, that’s for sure.
What could Leia’s role end up being? Archive footage from the original trilogy through a hologram wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. Neither would a brief cameo or voice clip. This is all depending on what goes down in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi, though it soundಞs lik🧜e Leia may at least survive the next movie.
Either way⛦, it’ll be nice to see Princess Leia getting the sendꦉ-off she deserves – and there won’t be a dry eye in the house.
