In light of the recent death of Carrie Fisher, what will Star Wars do without her? We asked that question before we saw The Force Awakens, but the answer may surprise you. Carrie Fisher played Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy and the absence of Her character in The Rise of Skywalker led us to doubt her ability to carry the franchise. However, we were delighted to learn that Disney’s special effects team successfully recreated Her character and remade the film using footage from previous films.

Leia Organa’s character arc

Princess Leia Organa is the star of the seven Star Wars films, and her role has become iconic. Born in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Leia is a cultural icon and symbol of a rebellion against oppressive tyranny. This article contains major Star Wars spoilers, so be warned. Please note that all the plot lines are based on the current canon, as defined by Lucasfilm.

Though the absence of Carrie Fisher has caused a void in the film industry, fans can still look forward to a vibrant, spirited Leia Organa character arc. In “The Force Awakens,” director J.J. Abrams completed the character arc for Leia Organa, as well as a number of other Star Wars movies and TV series. But it will be a tougher road ahead for her to be a character on her own.

Her absence from The Rise of Skywalker

Many fans have expressed disappointment over the absence of Carrie Fisher from “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” the prequel to the upcoming film. Fisher was widely regarded as the star of the franchise and was set to have a huge payoff in the final installment. Many fans have questioned why Carrie never gets a lightsaber in the movies, given that Obi-Wan was her age and would have been the perfect choice to be the last Jedi.

However, Kathleen Kennedy, a director and writer for The Last Jedi, reveals that she spoke with Fisher shortly after filming wrapped for the film. While Fisher had already planned to leave the film, Abrams couldn’t simply recast her or rely on visual effects to recreate the character. Though he’s grateful for what he managed to do with The Last Jedi, Fisher’s absence from The Rise of Skywalker still leaves some fans confused and angry.

Her character arc in The Force Awakens

In the recent “Star Wars” movie, J.J. Abrams resurrected the late Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, who played a pivotal role as a leader of the Resistance. After Carrie’s death in December 2016, Lucasfilm had to decide how to proceed with the sequel trilogy. Fisher’s brother Todd Fisher shared some details about the character arc of Leia.

While the new film does not solve all of the problems from The Force Awakens’ plot, J.J. Abrams is at least optimistic about the future of the Star Wars franchise. Though she may not be as beloved as Han and Luke, the film does show that her character arc is complete. Despite the flaws in the new film, Fisher’s character arc has been stitched together from unused footage from The Last Jedi, and the movie is an overall triumph.

Her character’s dialogue in The Force Awakens

There have been several speculations about whether Carrie Fisher’s character will return in The Last Jedi. Director J.J. Abrams consulted with Billie Lourd, Todd Fisher, and Chris Terrio in order to find the right line to have Carrie deliver. Eventually, Fisher and Abrams reached a consensus and decided to have her reprise her role. Nonetheless, the actress’ performance fell flat.

Filmmakers say that Carrie Fisher was an excellent script doctor for several films before becoming an actress. Rian Johnson has said that Fisher spent a lot of time off-set working on dialogue with him. The director also explained that he felt the actress was a writer just like him. The director revealed some of Fisher’s contributions to the dialogue in The Last Jedi, including lines she had previously recorded.

Her role in The Force Awakens

As Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Carrie Fisher demonstrates the range of emotions that come with playing a fierce warrior princess. She is a fearless warrior on the battlefield and dedicated to ending the tyranny of the Empire. She is the daughter of Padmé Amidala and the sister of Luke Skywalker, but has a soft spot for scoundrels.

Star Wars fans have mixed feelings about Carrie Fisher’s role in The Force-Awakens. The actress has been vocal about her role in the film, but many critics have expressed disappointment over her performance. Despite her praise from J.J. Abrams, The Force Awakens was far from her best performance. Her delivery was flat and her character appeared to struggle in this new era of Star Wars, but the actress’ struggles are gone in The Last Jedi.
