Using this footage to include Leia in the movie, he says, not only as a brother, but as a fan of" Star Wars "

" It 's not just me as a brother, "says Fisher." I have a connection with this thing that is different but I am also a fan of history, but that' s it. is my sister. My sister and Princess Leia are the same. And the idea that this story stops and that it does not continue is very disturbing to me. I kept telling people, "No, no, it must go on." I know I was even a bit boring for Disney. I kept saying from the brother's point of view that we would like to see Carrie continue, of course. And fans, I think, we could even use the word require that it continue. It's great that it worked that way and thanks to ['Episode IX' director] J.J. Abrams. It will be very magical and important for all of us. "
