Earlier last week, Todd Fisher was reported by New York Daily News saying Carrie Fisher through use of stock footage would reprise the role of Princess Leia in Star Wars Episode 9 following The Last Jedi. All rejoiced. Today, at Celebration however, in an exclusive with ABC News Kathleen Kennedy was asked by Paula Faris about what capacity Carrie Fisher would be used. To which the Lucasfilm President replied, "He (Todd) was probably confused." Going on she flat out said, "sadly Carrie will not be in nine." She did confirm that we will see a lot of Leia in The Last Jedi. It doesn't get more from the top than Kathleen Kennedy so I'm thinking we can take this one in stone. Now I'm just hoping the General gets a proper ending to her chapter. What do you think? Should they have gave it a shot? I can't really even have a guess until we see what exactly unfolds on December 15. Until then, may the force be with you all.
