Star Wars Actor Says Carrie Fisher Will Have an “Amazing” Send-Off in The Last Jedi

In a recent interview, Star Wars actor John Boyega, who plays Finn in the latest movies, spoke about Carrie Fisher’s final appearance in the upcoming film Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Fisher has played Princess Leia throughout the entire series and actually had completed all of her scenes for The Last Jedi before her untimely passing in December of last year.

According to Boyega, “This movie sends her off in an amazing, amazing way. And she is still kept alive in this franchise. That’s the beauty of it: She lives forever in a sense.” She will live forever in all of our hearts as well and the Star Wars actor said that when he heard of her passing, “It was a strange, strange feeling” and that it “felt like everyone in the cast went silent for a bit after that.” He also went on to talk about how he and Fisher, “worked together closely”, on the latest Star Wars film.

Disney boss Bob Iger confirmed in March that they did not change The Last Jedi to reflect Fisher’s passing stating, “What I can say about that is she is in [The Last Jedi] and we’re not changing it to deal with her passing. So her performance, which we’re really pleased with, remains as it was.” Even though rumors flew that Fisher’s character would still be making an appearance in Episode IX, it was also confirmed that is not true and they will not be using CGI to bring her back. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is coming to theaters this December.
