There’s a disturbance in 🦩the Force: it turns 🦩out Carrie Fisher will not be appearing as General Leia Organa in Star Wars 9.

Kathleen Kennedy, the President of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm, gave an interview to during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 and laid out the sad truth for fans everywhere. “Sadly, Carrie will not be in nine,” she sai▨d. “But we will see a lot of Carrie in eight.”

So Leia has a large role in Rian Johnson’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi (you can 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:see her in the trailer), but now we know for sure that film will be the last time we see the late actress in her iconic role. A few days ago, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:it was reported that Fisher’s family had given Lucasfilm permission to utilize unused footage of Leia for future films, considering Fisher’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:untimely death late last year. But Kennedy says her family members💧 were “confused” when they mentioned Fisher would be appearing in Episode 9.

This raises a big question: just because The Last Jedi will be the last time we see Carrie Fisher, does that also mean it's the last time we'll see Leia? Will director Colin Trevorrow (who has yet to start filming Episode 9) use the same technique we saw in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One to capture an older digital version of the character to finish off the new trilogy? It wouldn’t be an unprecedented move - look no further than Furious 7 to see how filmmakers have used digital technology to still give an actor a touching send-off. But perhaps it’s still early enou꧂gh in pre-production that they&rsq🐼uo;ll be able to avoid using those effects altogether and find a cleaner way to satisfactorily write her out of the story.

Dir🌞ected by Rian Johnson and starring Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Carrie Fisher, Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro, and more, Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15, 2017.
