Last Jedi Teaser Thoughts

As I have said before, it is great to have the Star Wars universe in the hands of writers and directors who are more comfortable with the emotional underpinnings of current and subsequent stories than series creator and godfather George Lucas ever was. It will be interesting to see where the potentially interracial storyline between Finn (John Boyega) and Rey (Daisy Ridley) goes. And the opportunity to see Mark Hamill's Luke back on screen in an actual speaking role gives me chills, as does the prospect of seeing Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia front and center in a role she completed filming last July before her untimely death in December.

And as for Leia's continued appearances in the SWU beyond Last Jedi, I believe that they would still be able to happen, as long as it is done in a respectable manner which is amenable to both Fisher's estate and her brother Todd (probably one and the same). Because all SWU properties and likenesses are now owned by Disney. And I am damn sure that from both a financial and emotional standpoint, no one wants to see Carrie Fisher or Princess Leia ever being forgotten.

May the Force be with you!
