Carrie Fisher’s last appearance as General Leia Organa will be in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. By the time of her demise, she had finished shooting her part in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. We had not written the script yet. “We finished everything in VII, and Carrie is absolutely phenomenal in the movie, and we’re so lucky that we were able to complete shooting in the summer. We’ll see a lot of her in VIII,” she had said in an interview. Unfortunately, Carrie passed away by the time we were well underway with Episode IX in our thoughts. So sadly, Carrie will not be in IX. It had been a crushing news for older fans of Star Wars who considered her as one of the most beloved characters of the franchise. The new outings in the Star Wars franchise are more focussed on the young characters. We started over again in January. Late actor Carrie Fisher will not be appearing in Star Wars: Episode IX. But we’ve regrouped. Her last appearance as General Leia Organa will be in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the trailer of which was released at the Star Wars Celebration on Friday, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy told to ABC News.
