Last week, her brother Todd Fisher revealed to press that his family had granted Disney and Lucasfilm the rights to use recent footage of the late actress to complete her role, leading many to assume that Leia would indeed be back for the next installment.

By the time Fisher passed away, Kennedy explains, "we were well underway with Episode IXin our thoughts," but the script had yet to be written. After Fisher's death, Kennedy says, "We regrouped. We started over in January."
And just in case there's any lingering confusion, Kennedy says it right out: "Sadly, Carrie will not be in IX."
It's been tough to let go of Fisher and it'll be tough to say good bye to Leia. But we will get one last chance to see her this winter in The Last Jedi. Kennedy talked up Fisher's work in the movie as "phenomenal."
Star Wars: The Last Jediis out December 15. Episode IX, which will be directed by Colin Trevorrow, is expected to open in 2019.
