Carrie Fisher Will Appear In STAR WARS: EPISODE IX, According To Brother Todd Fisher
Despite her tragic death at the end of 2016, it appears Carrie Fisher will be appearing in the final installment of the sequel trilogy after all, according to her brother, Todd Fisher...
Fans of Star Wars will surely either be glad or concerned about this news. According to CBR.com, the late Carrie Fisher's family has agreed to allow Lucasfilm and Disney to use recent footage of the actress to create her performance in Episode IX in 2019.
CBR reports that Todd Fisher, brother of the late actress, speaking to the New York Daily News, has confirmed that his sister is planned to make one last appearance, without the use of CGI.
The website quotes him saying, “Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don’t. 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’s happened with Carrie. I think the legacy should continue.”
It should, however, be noted that the extent to which she will appear is uncertain at this time. Fisher explains, “I’m not the only part in that equation, but I think the people deserve to have her. She’s owned by them."
