I can't see how they can put this story back together after the last one destroyed most of the things setup in episode 7. Maybe just go back to the traditional hero story of Rey vs Ren Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Carrie Fisher is going to be in this movie so how are they going to do that? Are they going to "Grand Moff Tarkin" her? Quote Link to comment

And they CGI'd Leia's face at the end of Rogue One. So there's precedent. I thought they did a brilliant job of using old footage of the X-Wing pilots from ANH in Rogue One. If they have stuff like that from Carrie that they can put into the story line for IX and make it work, I'm all for that. Seeing Red Leader & Gold Leader (and Porkins?) in that battle scene was fantastic. I think half the theater bugged out when they came on screen. Quote Link to comment

It must be Disney right, because otherwise all these films have different people working on them. Quote Link to comment

Quote Despite previous statements to the contrary, the late Carrie Fisher will reprise her role as Leia Organa in the upcoming Star Wars Episode IX. Lucasfilm confirmed the news as part of a broader announcement regarding casting and other details, which also revealed that Mark Hamill will be in the new movie. [Update: Hamill has now spoken about the prospect of making Episode IX without Fisher.] In a post on the official Star Wars website, Lucasfilm said it will use "previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in order to include Fisher, who passed away in December 2016. Notably, Episode IX is being directed by JJ Abrams, who also helmed The Force Awakens before Rian Johnson took over for The Last Jedi, which was thought to be Fisher's final Star Wars role. "We desperately loved Carrie Fisher," Abrams said in a statement. "Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie's legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII."

Will she die on-screen, off-screen? Will they "Yoda" her? Meaning have her appear as a Force ghost/entity? So many questions. Quote Link to comment
