As we reported earlier in the week, Carrie Fisher, also known as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series, died on December 27th. Â Carrie Fisher had a major role in Episode VIII, which she reportedly finished filming before her passing. Â She was also expected to have a major role in Episode IX. Disney actually took out a $50 million insurance policy on Carrie to help protect them if something should happen and she wouldn’t be able to complete the movies as planned. Â This will be the largest single payout for a personal accident claim that has ever been received.

Disney will have to re-consider how they will handle the movie franchise. It isn’t very feasible and wouldn’t go over well to replace Princess Leia with a different actor. Â Because of this, they will have to work hard on how they address the story. Â Fans are still hurt and dealing with the news of this tragedy and the next battle will be the future of the Star Wars movie series.
