I felt I had to share this with all of you since I’ve been seeing a lot of discussions around the web lately regarding the original plans for Episode IX to be “Leia’s Movie”. It’s just crazy to think (regardless of opinions on the Sequel Trilogy) that this will be the last time we see our original heroes in a new feature and I think Billie wrote a nice little piece about her Mother, her Princess, and OUR Princess.

In a discussion with CinemaBlend, Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow talked about the process of creating the next chapter in the Star Wars saga without Carrie Fisher. Although Trevorrow’s comments weren’t particularly revealing, he did admit that his options are limited because there are only certain things they are willing to do. Lucasfilm already ruled out using a CGI recreation to continue Leia’s story without Carrie Fisher, which is a wise choice. How the creative team will honor Carrie Fisher and handle Leia’s story is what I am the most anxious about heading into The Last Jedi and Episode IX. What do you think?
