Following news just last week that Carrie Fisher's family had granted Disney rights to use recent footage of Fisher for the final film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Kathleen Kennedy has shot down hopes that General Leia will appear in Star Wars Episode IX. The news comes from an interview on ABC, in which Kennedy says:

He was probably confused. We finished everything in eight and Carrie is absolutely phenomenal in the movie, and we're so happy that we were able to complete filming in the Summer. Unfortunately, Carrie passed away.

[…]

So by the time we were well underway with Episode 9, in our thoughts, we had not written a script yet. But we've regrouped. We started over again in January. So, sadly, Carrie will not be in nine. But we will see a lot of her in eight, which is great.

And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
