Edwards says he can at least live with the comfort of knowing Fisher was able to see the footage of Princess Leia in Rogue One, courtesy of producer Kathleen Kennedy.
And initially Carrie apparently didn’t realize it was CGI, and wondered if it was footage which we had taken from somewhere else.
Whatever the case may be, Fisher means too much to Star Wars for the filmmakers to treat the final decision with nothing but reverence for the late film icon.
Edwards, of course, won’t be the last Star Wars filmmaker to deal with Fisher’s loss.
