That’s a wrap on the biggest movie of the year! Tonight, Rian Johnson took to Instagram to announce that post production has wrapped on Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The director commended his team for the hard work they have done and that he’ll miss working in dark rooms with them.
With post production finally coming to a close, this means that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is ready for its December 15 release date. However, that isn’t the only exciting part. With Johnson announcing this news, it is only a matter of time before Disney and Lucasfilm finally showcase a brand new trailer for the highly anticipated sequel set in a galaxy far far away.
Recently, a fan even asked franchise star Mark Hamill on when Disney will release the newest trailer, to which he responded with “watch Monday Night Football on October 9th for no apparent reason.” He has since deleted the tweet.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi flies into theatres on December 15, 2017.

FUCKING HYYYPE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
I mean not to sound crude but I think she has to die right?
Id say he kills her then has a change of heart afterwords most likely
Either she dies or the cost is too much that shes not going to appear anymore (I feel so bad that im going into exile forever or some shit), given Carrie's current uhm status I don't think she will appear in 9 (apart from one of those halluc things mb).
So I think dying is more likely, some photon torpedoes pew pew - personal execution by Snoke would be meh tbh, more impactful but kind of cliche. I like the idea of a destroyed craft with not too much buildup and her dying more.

Or they both peace out on the entire thing together and try to find their own path. If they wanted to go interesting places, fuck being told by masters what to believe, find out where you belong on you own.

The studio said they are not going to try to digitally recreate her and will write around it. Assuming she lives through this movie, my bet is they will deal with her in the opening yellow letters of the third film.
The saddest part about this movie is we don't get another round of Harrison Ford doing promotion for it. The man is a drunk blessing on all talk shows.

You know out of respect I can see them not actually killing her character. They can probably find a somewhat reasonable way to just push her out of the story after her scenes are done. Unless they already filmed her death scene before she passed.
edit: I'm not even a big fan of the original characters dying tbh. Han dying in the first one is not a bad move because his character served its purpose, but if Leia dies in this one it will seem super forced and will probably lead everyone to believe Luke will die in the last one
Han dying seemed almost like a crude attempt to fulfill Ford's Ep 6 desire. So far after the fact as to be kind of expected, but also short of the impact you would hope it'd have. After rewatching it without the expectations I initially had, I stopped seeing it as particularly forced or unfortunate. But it wasn't really that meaningful either.
I would expect Leia to appear very briefly in Ep 9, maybe standing in the crowd smiling with approval at the heroes and their ultimate success. She just isn't that critical to the story. And Star Wars has always been a bit of a feel-good narrative, so I expect it to be short on impactful deaths in the end.
On another topic: Johnson seems to have done a good job with this movie from what I can see. Next movie was supposed to be Trevorrow, but now it's back to Abrams. What do people think, is that good or bad? He makes good Star Wars, but honestly the aspect where three different authors tell the story seems to be good for Star Wars. The prequels had a single main storyteller and were worse off for it.
Ep 07 had this pretty combination of fun and seriousness that I really liked but the overall direction of that film wasn't neccesarily good feels narrative to be honest. Lots of darkish color paletess etc as well giving it more of a grim and serious look and less feel good.
I had hoped to see Leia become a Jedi Master as the original movies hinted that the Force was strong with her as well. The EU for all the interesting things it did, really missed the boat on that one, relegating her entirely to the political sphere until very late. Now mind you, Leia as a politician did make for some interesting stories. (It was Han that really got the short straw in some of those books.) But having seen that already, I wanted to see the Jedi Master iteration. I don't think we would necessarily have gotten that as they were going Leia as general. But then real life had to intrude So very sad.
It strikes me that one advantage of novels is your story is not beholden to vagaries of the real world.
