The moment we all wanted to see in a Star Wars film, as Leia Organa wields a lightsaber as part of the Jedi training given by her brother, and besting him in combat no less, at a time after Return of the Jedi, and seen in flashback form for The Rise of Skywalker, out on UK home entertainment next month. A worthwhile use of facial CGI manipulation using the late Carrie Fisher, as well as Mark Hamill, as they looked in ROTJ, with her important body stand-in during 2019 filming deservedly being Fisher's daughter herself, Billie Lourd.
