It's been no secret that Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia was to have a really big part in the finale to the current Star Wars Trilogy that started with The Force Awakens. In the wake of her unfortunate and untimely death however, there's been many questions as to how that hole would be filled. We now have an answer. New York Daily News is reporting that Carrie's brother, Todd Fisher and daughter Billie Lourd have granted the Disney Studio rights to use recent footage for the finale with the understanding that no CGI will be used to recreate Leia. Todd Fisher said, "She's as much a part of it as anything and I think her presence now is even more powerful than it was, like Obi-Wan, when the saber cuts him down he becomes more powerful. I feel like that's what happened with Carrie. I think the Legacy should continue." He went on to say, "You don't mess with this legacy. It would be like rewriting the Bible. To me, Star Wars is the holy grail of storytelling and lore and you can't mess with it." This might be the most exciting thing I've heard all week, as I was really worried as to how these sad events would affect the outcome of the final film. I'm so glad Leia gets to have a part in this. I just feel for everything Carrie Fisher poured into this iconic part she would hate to see it disappear instead of end.
