It’s easy to get caught up in the hype surrounding 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars:🍸 The Last Jedi’s new trailer but it’s impossible to forget that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Episode 9 is just over the horizon – and it’ll be missing a key player. Carrie Fisher’s untimely death in December not on✤ly left a gaping hole in the hearts of fans everywhere, it meant we’ll also miss out on a movie that – according to Mark Hamill – would have seen her in a more considerable role.

Speaking at a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New York Comic Con 2017 panel on Saturday, Mark Hamill suggested that, as reported by USA Today, “they’re going to fin🌼d a way to close [Leia’s] story in [Star Wars] 9.”

Not only that, Hamill also hinted at an interesting through line involving the trinity of Original Trilogy returnees, with Han Solo being front and centre of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Luke taking a starring role in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Leia getting the spotlight in Star Wars 9.

“Leia was meant to be more prominent in 9”🐲, Hamill told the crowd at the Hammerstein Ballroom, indicating that, perhaps Star Wars 8 won’t be filled with as many iconic Leia moments as we wished for.

This news stings more than I was expecting. As nice as it is to see Carrie Fisher crop up in The Last Jedi, just imagine Leia capping off her r✤un through the Star Wars universe with a star turn in the finale. It would’ve been all we could’ve wished for – and more.

As for Leia’s story ending, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm 澳洲幸运5�𓄧�开奖号码历史查询:were still working on re-adjusting the script as of May to deal with Fisher’s death. Hamill’s glimpse into Leia’s future rol💜e is the first we’ve heard of it since. Here’s hoping she gets a send-off fitting of the legacy of General Leia Organa.
