We had to be really careful.ĭan Mindel, cinematographer: a huge ally of mine and I pay a huge amount of attention to what he's telling me. All the footage that we were using was quite often lit in different ways. It required a tremendous amount of planning to the nth degree to make this work. Then, of course, we had to stage the scenes and create those shots.
Basing it around the performances that she'd given us previously was the key. Roger Guyett, visual effects supervisor: When you watch the movie you just want to believe that Carrie's there, and it's just completely natural within the scene. While Fisher’s expressions were never digitally changed, everything except her face was rendered by visual effects artists. We did a test, but it was really like, "Will this work? Let's just try this.” The one thing I'll say is that whenever you see Carrie, we completely constructed, lit, and composed the shots around the original pieces that we had. So we started looking at what these shots were, we started writing scenes around these shots, completely new contexts, new locations, new situation. So every day, whenever all the bells and whistles were happening, a cast of thousands, Jordan, we would say, "How do we tell the story of the two twins, the promise of the two twins being fulfilled," which are Luke and Leia.Ībrams: Obviously we all loved her and were heartsick that she wasn't there, and yet we knew the character had to be. The problem of this movie was how do we finish Leia's part without actually having Leia? Ultimately we came up with a story that someone would come along who would pick up Leia's saber and would finish her Jedi journey for her.
And so when we came into this movie, we didn't have Carrie.
I remember that from my childhood, and I always wished that I could see Leia as a Jedi. Terrio: One thing we knew is we were going to put Leia in the Jedi pantheon in this movie, and we knew that there was the promise that was made in 1983 that "there is another" and that is Leia.
