Fans are blend to have to emotionally prepare themselves for the late Carrie Fisher ’s General Leia ’s view whenStar Wars : The Last Jediarrives in theaters this wintertime . Since Fisher ’s unfortunate passing in December 2016 , after going into cardiac arrest on a flight of stairs from London to Los Angeles on the European ramification of her book duty tour , fans have enquire how her decease would impactThe Last JediandEpisode IXin regards to her role ’s purpose in the films .
From late audience , we know that Fisher ’s Princess Leia was supposed to have a major role inEpisode IX , sinceThe Force Awakenswas all about Han Solo andThe Last Jediwill be revolve about on the former Jedi Master Luke Skywalker . Since Fisher passed before the unconscious process of filmingEpisode IXeven start , it was confirm by Lucasfilm that there areno plans to animate Leia with CGIand that the motion-picture show company had to“start over”withEpisode IX . The sequel trilogy finale is undergoing even more change now that the script is being co - written by new director J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio .
Even thoughthe scenes Fisher filmed forThe LastJedi were never changed , there ’s no doubtfulness that her theatrical role in the picture will have more of an worked up impact forStar Warsfans who have been with the saga since the original trilogy . In a raw consultation with theChicago Sun Times , director Rian Johnson is teasing the“incredibly emotional”Leia scenery and how the experience is going to be a premix of emotion forStar Warslovers :
“ Having these scenes in the film recontextualize tragically with her not being here anymore , it ’s incredibly emotional . For the next few months , seeing the fans … litigate the loss and lionise her as Leia one last prison term , it ’s fail to be intense . I mean it ’s going to be really sad but really elated , I trust . She really plain ( butt ) as General Leia , and I ’m happy for that . ”
From what Johnson is aver , it sound like Leia is going to have some major emotional hurdling she will be facing in the novel film . For starter , she will be dispense with the aftermath of Han Solo ’s expiry at the hands of their son , Kylo Ren , who could be on a quest to end his female parent ’s life inThe Last Jedi . The trailercould sure as shooting be help up some distraction , but hopefully this is a screw thread the celluloid explores . There ’s also the relationship Leia has with her brother Luke in this moving-picture show we have to consider . InThe Force Awakensit ’s indicated that Leia has n’t hear her similitude in a long time after his Jedi academy was destroyed and he fled to the removed planet Ahch - To .
We have a feeling this possible reunion is going to be vivid considering how much Luke has convert since we last saw him inReturn of the Jedi , when he was dauntless in his attempt to save his father , Darth Vader , from the grim side . Now , in the prevue , we see Luke afraid of , presumably , Rey ’s sore talent and power when it comes to using the Force . This probably is n’t going to fell with Leia , moot the time she spent trying to track Luke down so he can help in the Resistance , setting us up for some heartbreaking play .
