Speaking on the latest episode of The Resistance Broadcast, ABC’s Clayton Sandell added to last weeks story of unused Carrie Fisher The Force Awakens footage being used for Episode IX with the reveal that The Last Jedi footage could also be used.
“I talked to Todd Fisher today about all of this and he has been talking with J. J. Abrams about it. I asked him, because the press release only said The Force Awakens so I asked about The Last Jedi, and they are also using unused footage from The Last Jedi. I asked him how many minutes of footage they had from it and he said ‘I can’t tell you that!’”
“He (Todd Fisher) said there were big surprises coming – big surprises with this movie, this performance, and the unused footage – and said – this one is really for the fans.”
“But they apparently have a number of unused minutes from both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.”
“Todd and the whole family are very excited and wanted it to happen.”
Here’s my prediction – Leia Organa makes it all the way through to the end of Episode IX, the final chapter of the Skywalker saga, to live on in novels, comics and animation. Head on over to Star Wars News Net for the full story.
