CitizenVectron Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-ix-cast-announced Quote The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. “We desperately loved Carrie Fisher,” says Abrams. “Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.” Interesting. I know they shot a scene where Rey and Leia meet on Takodana and it wasn't used for the film, I wonder if that will be it. Also, Luke is back: Quote Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd. Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant, who will be joined by veteran Star Wars actors Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.

GeneticBlueprint Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Interesting. Now I'm anxious to see how they're going to handle the character's death if they're using footage that obviously wasn't meant to lead to her death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdyb1 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This is great to know that Billy Dee Williams will FINALLY make his return. Hopefully he will give us that loss for Han that we really never got from the other characters plus to have Lando back is great as well as I thought we would see or at least hear about him at the end of Last Jedi. Also happy to know that Luke will be back most likely as a ghost. I am fine with how he was portrayed in Last Jedi, I do hope that his portrayal in Episode 9 is both wise and more optimistic as his character needs to to be redeemed. I think Leia will have very small part in the movie just to send the character off properly. I still get sad thinking about Carrie Fisher.

There is no need for "redemption" for Luke I'm hoping that he spends the entirety of IX mocking the hell out of Kyio Ren. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO!!!! On one hand, I can see Mark Hamill on Twitter playing with that idea of mocking Ren on the other hand, it would be fitting for Ren to have that on going type torture for the garbage he has pulled.

Hurdyb1 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Whelp, let the great internet speculation begin which will still lead to a number of Star Wars fans not being happy since Return of the Jedi and freaking Ewoks. I will laugh and be what I am sure pleased with Episode 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is absolutely what Kyio deserves: to be constantly reminded by a Force ghost that he simply can't measure up to Uncle Luke, his mother, or his grandfather. "Oh, so that's your grand plan, kid...I mean, 'Supreme Leader Ren'? Well, that's pretty adorable!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I'm curious how they're going to pull it off and not make her scenes seem out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 They are also saying this the final movie about the Skywalkers. I see that as a positive. I hope force ghost Luke has some fun with Kylo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 As everyone knows, I don't care about this shit in the least, but uh... are we allowing open character spoilers in thread titles for Episode IX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I don't think the title spoils anything. It doesn't say in what capacity she will show up. If you were clueless about the previous movie, assuming you saw episode 7, you'd think maybe shows up as a ghost or a flashback or something.

LazyPiranha Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I honestly just hope that episode IX goes full troll. I don't really care about the characters or plot, but the more white dudes they can bend out of shape by "ruining" Star Wars the better. I hope the entire movie is Daisy Ridley, Kelly Marie Tran, and ghost Carrie Fisher walking around in "this is what a feminist looks like" shirts out doing everything the original trilogy tried ten fold. Rei manages to throw a proton torpedo over her shoulder without looking which lands in another death star's exhaust port while she lifts up a dozen x wings with her mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a franchise where Darth Vader found redemption. Ruling that out for Kylo seems silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
