"We love Carrie Fisher desperately," said J.J. Abrams, director of Star Wars: The Awakening of the Force and who will also take charge of the ninth episode, still untitled.
"Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without it was beyond us We would never choose another actress or use a CG character (for digital recreation) .With the support and blessing from his daughter Billie, we found a way to honor the legacy of Carrie and the character of Leia in Episode 19459002 IX using unpublished images that we filmed together in Episode VII "he said.
This announcement, however, contradicts the previous version of Lucasfilm, which through its president, Kathleen Kennedy, badured in April 2017 that the actress would not appear as Princess Leia in the film that will close the third trilogy of Star Wars .
"Unfortunately, Carrie will not be in Episode IX We'll see a lot of Carrie in Star Wars: Episode VIII The D Last Jedi (2017) and it's great, "said Kennedy in statements to ABC at the Star Wars celebration held in Orlando (USA) last April.
This decision could be related to the change of the rudder of Episode IX which was originally to be made by Colin Trevorrow, director of Jurbadic World (2015), but which was eventually replaced by Abrams because of creative differences with Lucasfilm.
] Abrams is also co-author of the script together to Chris Terrio ( Argo ).
Filming begins on August 1 at Pinewood Studios in London
