While this may have upset some fans, director Gareth Edwards revealed today that it didn’t upset Carrie Fisher, who actually didn’t know that the Leia in the movie was created through CGI.
Kathy said she showed it to her and Carrie thought it was footage.
LucasFilm also released a rare statement in January shooting down rumors that the studio is planning on digitally re-creating Leia Organa for Star Wars: Episode IX.
She didn’t remember the take and thought we had manipulated a take from the original film.
