Of course, the use of special effects to seamlessly incorporate a 20-year-old Carrie Fisher into Rogue One just under 40 years after A New Hope was released is proof that it could happen again.
And now Ingvild Deila, who physically played Leia before Carrie Fisher was superimposed over her in Rogue One, has now admitted that she’d love the chance to reprise the iconic role again.
The death of Carrie Fisher at the end of last year not only brought a great cloud over anyone who has ever seen a Star Wars film, but it also meant that the character of Princess Leia would be looked at with extra reverence going forward.
