Force Awakens Footage Develops Leia & Poe's Relationship In Star Wars 9

Oscar Isaac saysForce Awakensfootage of Carrie Fisher repurposed forStar Wars : Episode IXwill further flesh out Poe Dameron ’s relationship with General Leia Organa . After Fisher tragically passed away in December 2016 , Lucasfilm was draw to startEpisode IXdevelopment over from scratch . The original plan call for Leia to be at the forefront , much like Han Solo inForce Awakensand Luke Skywalker inLast Jedi . Many fans inquire how ( or if ) the character would be incorporated into the trilogy finale , and last summer Lucasfilm revealedold footage from the old films would be used .

How on the button this is do remains to be view . patently , J.J. Abrams and company would n’t have conk in this focus if they did n’t have the uttermost confidence in their programme , but it ’ll still be interesting to watch issue forth into realization . Even with the magic of post - production providing avenues to manipulate the scenes as the crew sees fit , one would have to envisage the squad is somewhat circumscribed with what they can do . Still , from the phone of thingsthere ’s some good material for Abrams to strain through , and a lot of it ostensibly involves interactions between Leia and Poe .

While talk withSirius XM’sJohn Fugelsang ( hat tipIndieWire ) , Isaac in brief discussed the Fisher footage , revealing that parting of it detail the close human relationship Leia had with the champion Resistance pilot :

“ I was n’t surprised because I remember we were doing that , we work a raft . [ Fisher ] and I process together so much . We would peach about the scenes , and we got very tight during the shooting of that . So it was a beautiful thing to see , and it gets extend over into the new film as well . ”

A fascinating thing to keep in thinker is that the scene Isaac ’s discussing , of course , were indite and shot years ago for the first picture show in a trilogy when nobody could have anticipated these twist of events . Poe ’s also had an extra film of character increment and development now , where he con hard deterrent example about what it means to be a drawing card . Without cognize the context of use of the footage , one would hope that these bit do n’t simply rehash beats from the earlier moving picture and instead move Poe ’s arc forward in a meaningful way . A deletedForce Awakenssubplot regard theResistance owning a topnotch - weapon called the Warhammermay provide some clues , as that could raise some virtuously ambiguous conversation between the two . Regardless of the subject , it ’ll nevertheless be gracious to see Fisher and Isaac together onscreen . In some respect , Poe is the son Leia like she had , and anything that strengthen their connection will be appreciated .

Hopefully , some tarry questions about Leia’sEpisode IXrole are resolved during Celebration Chicago next month . It ’s already been confirmedanEpisode IXpanel will be a centerpiece of the convention , and it ’s widely expectedthe film ’s first laggard will debut there . Historically , Star Warsteaser trailers are more about establishing the tone and atmosphere of a given movie , keeping several secret plan inside information under whorl and headstone to play up the closed book . That ’ll likely be the guinea pig withEpisode IX , but it would n’t hurt Lucasfilm to peel back the drapery a little more than usual and give fans a greater idea of how their Leia architectural plan will officiate .
