The upcoming "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" will honour the legacy of Carrie Fisher. Director J.J. Abrams says the late actress will appear as Princess Leia for the last time in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker".

Abrams on Saturday got on the stage at D23 Expo here to explain how the footage of the late actress has been used in the upcoming installment of the franchise. For him, it was very important to make Fisher a part of the final film in the "Skywalker" saga as her iconic character makes up for the heart of the entire story.
