In a surprising move, Lucasfilm has taken to the official site to squash the rumor that has been floating around the interwebs the past few days about them working with Carrie Fisher’s estate to potentially allow for them to digitially recreate Fisher as Leia in future films.
We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.
Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars.
