Star Wars 9’s Carrie Fisher appearance will be "bittersweet" for Mark Hamill – but he supports the decision

With the somewhat surprising news that Carrie Fisher will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:be making her fin🔴al bow as General Leia Organa in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Episode 9 through unused 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens footage, a🐻ttention has, inevitably, turned to the reaction of her brother-in-(missing) arms, Mark Hamill, and how he would react. But we can all breat♔he easy. The actor behind Luke Skywalker himself, as ever, reacted with poise and class – and has put his weight behind the decision to bring her back.

Taking to Twitter, Hamill, is still understandably upset over the loss of Fisher, a good friend, states, “she is simply irrepla𒈔ceable.” I’m sure Carrie herself would have gotten quite a kick out of the only person being able to replace Carrie Fisher being... Carrie Fisher.

Of course, attention now turns to just how much of Star Wars 9 will feature both Leia and Luke. We’ve already had the chance to say goodbye to Mark Hamill’s character in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi but bringing him back and, hopefully, having him side-by-side with Carrie Fisher’s Leia one last time would not only be the perfect trilogy-topper, but a beautifully sweet 🍰sayonara to the original movie and everything that came after it. It feels like Hamill is somewhat looking forward to that moment, too.

We’re not taking the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Rogue One CGI route, either. The final chance we, the audience, and Luke Skywalker will get to🙈 say goodbye to her will when we’re all face-to-face with Carrie Fisher’s very real, inimitable, fiery spirit. And there won’t be a dry eye in the house.
