Many have wondered how Lucasfilm will handle the future of her character. The studio’s President Kathleen Kennedy recently revealed that Leia will not feature in The Last Jedi‘s follow-up film, however it’s also been reported that they are still keeping their options open, but will not take the CGI route. Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow has said the film will treat her untimely death with “love and respect”. While John Boyega recently stated that Episode 8 “sends her off in a very amazing way.”
Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives on December 15.
