— THE Jordan Johnson (@TheJordanJ) October 10, 2017Fisher had completed filming for "The Last Jedi" before her death. Her performance in this movie will be the last time we see her grace the screen, which is a devastating reality for her fans.
According to Mark Hamill, Fisher's role in Episode IX as General Leia Organa was meant to be very prominent, but the story was reworked following her death. Now she won't appear in the final film of this trilogy at all.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" opens December 15. Tickets are available now.
