Lucasfilm and their corporate overlords at Disney are on track to begin production on Star Wars: Episode IX, signifying it by officially announcing the core cast of the film. Most of the names were to be expected, with a couple of new names—and some curious returning veterans in Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
We already knew that Billy Dee Williams was finally going to make his return in Episode IX as the ever so smooth Lando Calrissian, but Hamill and Fisher's return is the big news item for today. Luke Skywalker is super dead by the end of the totally-not-controversial The Last Jedi, but never, ever count out Force ghosts. According to co-writer and director J.J. Abrams, General Leia will return via unused footage that Abrams shot for The Force Awakens, despite contrary reports. No recasting, no holograms, and definitely no creepy CGI.
