Hollywood actress Carrie Fisher, 60, passed away on Dec 27, 2016; four days after a massive heart attack. Before her death, Fisher had completed her work on film Star Wars: Episode 8. Now, what’s in store for Star Wars: Episode 9 without Carrie Fisher, who played the role of Princess Leia.
Following her death, speculations are rife on how the character Princess Leia could return on screen for the film Star Wars: Episode 9. Princess Leia was believed to appear in that production.
Here are three possible ways, Star Wars: Episode 9 director Colin Trevorrow could portray late Carrie Fisher on screen:
Making Changes In Star Wars: Episode 9 Storyline
After the release of Star Wars: Episode 8, there is a possibility that the second installment will lay the foundation for a new storyline. This new storyline might make new changes and reduce the role of, Carrie Fisher. In this way, her character Princess Leia might be brought back to the screen.
According to Independent, the story may have progressed to a place where General Leia does not take an active role in proceedings. And that she only needs to be mentioned by other characters. This could also help in some way.

"Carrie holds such a special place in the hearts of everyone at Lucasfilm it is difficult to think of a world without her. She was Princess Leia to the world but a very special friend to all of us. She had an indomitable spirit, incredible wit, and a loving heart. Carrie also defined the female hero of our age over a generation ago. Her groundbreaking role as Princess Leia served as an inspiration of power and confidence for young girls everywhere. We will miss her dearly.” -Kathleen Kennedy

Use of Unused footage And Dialogues Of Carrie Fisher
The other way, Princess aka General Leia Organa could be brought back in Star Wars: Episode 9 is by using the unused footage and dialogues of her, reports Independent.
For instance, the website adds this was done for ‘The Sopranos’. In order to quickly write out Tony Soprano’s mother this technique was used; as actress Nancy Marchand died while the show was on hiatus.
Use Of CGI Technique In Star Wars: Episode 9
CGI technique that is Computer Generated Imagery was used in the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to re-create General Leia Organa on screen.
According to Independent, this similar technique might be re-used for the Star Wars: Episode 9. It further adds that this option would make the most sense narrative-wise. But it also adds that it would do a disservice to Carrie Fisher’s great personality, which is larger than any digital replica could reproduce.
