So, I’m relatively certain that if Leia doesn’t get some sort of happy/at least bittersweet ending after all she’s been through, I’m going to be emotionally destroyed by the end of EPIX.
– Mark Hamill officially is confirmed as part of the cast.
Force ghost Luke, I presume?
–
“The role of Leia Organa will once again be played by Carrie Fisher, using previously unreleased footage shot for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
Can’t say I’m surprised. It would have been very jarring to see another actress play Leia or to see a video-game looking Carrie on screen. I’m eager to see how well it will fit the narrative of the story, and more importantly, if it respectfully and satisfyingly concludes the story of Leia Organa.
–
Billy Dee Williams, who will reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.
YEEHAW
– No Keri Russell.
WELL…. an interesting turn in events..
– “Joining the cast of Episode IX are Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant.”
FIRST OFF, PREPARE TO SHIELD MS. ACKIE FROM RACIST FANBOYS. Also, old British dude? Definitely a villain. Not much else to report except that I am interested to see their parts in the film.
Ah, thank you sarlacc. (“She shoots, she scores!”)
(Brought to you by the committee to remind you that it’s perfectly fine to use chatty tags if you want, without apologizing or asking if people object or whatever. That is fine. Nobody should tell you otherwise.) (In fact, please don’t apologize.) (Really, don’t.)
(While you tag, please do remember we’re here and human, not computers. There is always at least one human who reads your tags and figures out what to do with them, if no one has used those exact tags before. Your tags will be out of order and contextless to us. We’ll connect tags that seem to have a specific meaning without opening your work or looking at your notes in most cases, because literally all we get is each tag, by itself. We don’t see your summary or the other tags on your work. We don’t know that you meant that tag ironically. When you tag, please think about how your individual tags might be hooked up to the filter system and tag accordingly. This will help users looking through tags find works they’re interested in and keep your work from appearing in filters you didn’t mean for it to be in.)
…And it appears I’ve caused confusion with this one, too. Whoops! Explanation time.
