Fisher’s unexpected death sparked fervent speculation about how Disney would handle her role as Leia in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” which is the the eighth film in the series and scheduled for release in December.“She’s in ‘VIII,’ and we’re not changing eight to deal with her passing,” Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger said during an on- stage conversation with his wife, Willow Bay, on Thursday at a conference hosted by USC’s Marshall and Annenberg schools. Her performance, which we’ve been really pleased with, remains as it was.”In “The Force Awakens,” it was revealed the Leia, now a general, is the leader of the Resistance fighting against the evil First Order. Her relationship with Han Solo has become a bit strained in the years since the events of “Return of the Jedi,” but the two share a son named Ben. Ben, however, has been seduced by the dark side of the Force and fights for the First Order as Kylo Ren, which means there is plenty of Skywalker- Solo family drama left to be explored in the remaining “Star Wars” films.

That will happen in this film, and you’ll also discover how he got his name."That’s right: Fans will finally learn how Han Solo came to own the Millennium Falcon and befriend Chewbacca. One detail still missing about the Phil Lord- and Christopher Miller- helmed anthology film, however, is its official title. Iger also teased the future of “Star Wars” beyond the already- planned films, including “Episode IX” and one more anthology installment."We’re just starting to talk about what happens in ‘Star Wars’ after ‘IX,’ ” Iger said. We have a creative team actually thinking about what could be another decade and a half of ‘Star Wars’ stories. It’s kind of mind- blowing to spend an afternoon with the creative team talking about that. I mean, where could you go, or where should we go?"“A galaxy far, far away,” he joked.
