This sadness is all compounded by the fact that Carrie Fisher wanted Star Wars 9 to be her movie, as explained by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy in Vanity Fair’s recent Star Wars: The Last Jedi preview.
It was also said at one point that they were possibly going to repurpose some unused footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but that isn’t going to happen either.
It has been a very emotional ride for Star Wars fans ever since Carrie Fisher passed away.
It is tough to speculate about how Princess Leia is going to be handled in Star Wars 9 since we don’t even really know all that much about what happens in Star Wars 8.
