Along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and co-writer Chris Terrio, the crew repurposed unused footage of Fisher in character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi for use in The Rise of Skywalker, building scenes specifically around her to ensure she would have a presence in the movie.
A new poster for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has just been released, and its included credits posthumously give Carrie Fisher the top billing in a touching tribute to the franchise star.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be released in theaters everywhere on Dec. 20, 2019.
While every Star Wars movie is a hit, there seems to be even more excitement for this installment than the previous movies.
