Carrie Fisher's death on December 27, 2016 initially caused re-writes for this movie to remove Leia altogether. Lucasfilm made it clear that they would not attempt to digitally re-create her likeness or performance like they did (with Fisher's approval) in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), most likely due to the mixed reception of said scene and of those using Peter Cushing's likeness. However, in July 2018, J.J. Abrams confirmed that Fisher will appear in this movie via unused footage from Star Wars - Il risveglio della Forza (2015) and Star Wars - Gli ultimi Jedi (2017), with the writers and editors coming up with a clever way to re-purpose those scenes. Regardless of what they said previously, the performance of Carrie Fisher's face, is shown to be attached to a CGI-body on some parts, as shown in making of videos.
