ABC News ' Clayton Sandell was a client onStar Wars News Net’sThe Resistance Broadcast , where he detailed a conversation he had with Todd Fisher , Carrie ’s brother . As it turns out , Sandell was marvel about theLast Jedifootage himself , and put the query to Todd :
“ I talk to Todd Fisher today about all of this and he has been talking with J. J. Abrams about it . I involve him , because the press release only said The Force Awakens so I require about The Last Jedi , and they are also using fresh footage from The Last Jedi . I asked him how many arcminute of footage they had from it and he said ‘ I ca n’t tell you that ! ' ”
This will leave Abrams and his squad to rip from a wider range of available footage . All things consider , it would be rather define if they stuck toForce Awakensexclusively and did n’t take a look at whatLast Jedihad to declare oneself . Even if there is n’t a whole fortune of deleted Carrie footage , every spare bit helps when trying to undertake something like this . Using erstwhile footage of gone actorsis nothing new for Hollywood , but it ’ll nevertheless be very interesting to see how Abrams executes Leia’sEpisode IXrole . He plainly must sense very confident in his plan , if he feels go with onetime footage is a workable choice . Most importantly , Abrams has the approving of Carrie ’s family , who are excited to see the icon remains an dynamic part of the story .
Obviously , Todd could n’t partake in too much information , but he did tease"big surprises"are in entrepot , particularly with Leia . At one peak , it was expectedthe General would be at the forefront ofEpisode IX(like Han inForce Awakensand Luke inLast Jedi ) . While the film has obviously gone through a number of changes since it first entered ontogenesis , it would be overnice if Abrams was able to give Leia a meaningful role . As a regular of theStar Warsfranchise from the very beginning , Leia merit a tremendous sendoff as much as her fellow original trilogy veterans .
