From previous interviews, we know that Fisher’s Princess Leia was supposed to have a major role in Episode IX, since The Force Awakens was all about Han Solo and The Last Jedi will be centered on the former Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Fans are going to have to emotionally prepare themselves for the late Carrie Fisher’s General Leia’s scenes when Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in theaters this winter.
There’s also the relationship Leia has with her brother Luke in this film we have to consider.
Since Fisher’s unfortunate passing in December 2016, after going into cardiac arrest on a flight from London to Los Angeles on the European leg of her book tour, fans have wondered how her death would impact The Last Jedi and Episode IX in regards to her character’s role in the films.
