Disney Expected to Receive $50 Million After Death of Carrie Fisher

Posted by: Christy Caby December 31, 2016

As we reported earlier in the week, Carrie Fisher, also known as Princess Leia in the Star Wars series, died on December 27th.  Carrie Fisher had a major role in Episode VIII, which she reportedly finished filming before her passing.  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.  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.  Because of this, they will have to work hard on how they address the story.  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.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
