Todd Fisher recalls life with Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds
Todd Fisher tells all in 'My Girls: A Lifetime with Carrie and Debbie,' a new memoir about growing up with sister Carrie Fisher and mother Debbie Reynolds.
“Star Wars” fans will be seeing “a lot” of Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa in the next film for the franchise, her brother Todd Fisher said.
On the two-year anniversary of the actress’ death, Fisher hinted that his late sister will have a significant appearance in episode IX of the “Star Wars” saga thanks to unused footage that was originally shot for “The Force Awakens.”
“There’s a lot of minutes of footage. I don’t mean just outtakes,” Fisher told ABC News. “This is unused, new content that could be woven into the storyline. That’s what’s going to give everybody such a great kick. It’s going to look like it was meant to be. Like it was shot yesterday.”
