Star Wars' Carrie Fisher returns in 'Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker' trailer
A world-first trailer released at the convention – and dropped on the internet – reintroduced the"next generation" characters from the final three films alongside old favourites from as far back as the 1977 original,"Star Wars IV: A New Hope."
Director J.J. Abrams told the US "Star Wars Celebration" event the writers had agonised over giving Fisher's beloved General Leia Organa a fitting send-off in the ninth instalment, revealed as "Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker." They included Lando Calrissian, portrayed by the original actor Billy Dee Williams, and the voice only of Mark Hamill – Luke Skywalker himself – who appeared to die in the last film but was widely expected to have some role in the latest movie.
Disney said last year Fisher's role would be gleaned from previously unreleased footage from "The Force Awakens," with the blessing of her daughter, Billie Lourd. It is not the first time Fisher's likeness was featured in a "Star Wars" movie despite being absent from its filming.
