The late Carrie Fisher will appear in “Star Wars: Episode IX,” according to her brother Todd Fisher.
New York Daily News’ Confidential reports that whileย attending the opening night gala of the TCM Film Festival in Los Angeles, Todd Fisher said that Disney would love to bring back Princess Leia and that he and Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, have given the studio permission to use recent footage for the final movie of the new trilogy.
“Both of us were like, ‘Yes, how do you take her out of it?’ And the answer is you don’t,” Fisher said.ย “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.
