Carrie Fisher may be gone, but she is making a return to the big screen with Star Wars Episode IX. Her onscreen brother Mark Hamill will also be making a return, and he shares this fun clip of him hanging out with Fisher on the set of Star Wars: A New Hope.
Check out Hamill's post:
As you can see, this was on the set of the Death Star, and Fisher was shooting scenes with Peter Cushing (Moff Tarkin) that day. Hamill decided to drop by because he wanted to meet Cushing, who he didn't have any scenes with. Afterwards, he just hung around with Fisher because they ‘always made each other laugh.'
Besides Hamill looking silly fooling around with his legs, it's also kind of cute to see Fisher dangling her feet in full Leia costume. Leia wasn't really the effeminate type in the movies, so it's cool to see this side of her behind the scenes.
We don't know to what extent Leia will be in Episode IX, but it's said that the movie will be using a lot of extra footage they have of Fisher from Force Awakens and Last Jedi. I just wish J.J. Abrams luck that he finds a way to send Leia off without it feeling too forced. Personally I was ready for an offscreen death or a start with Leia's funeral, but Abrams and his team may be on to something.
Star Wars Episode IX comes out Dec. 20.
