In an interview with Good Morning America, Carrie Fisher’s brother Todd said that the unused footage of her as General Leia for Star Wars: Episode IX won’t just be outtakes from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Here are highlights:

On fans seeing more from her: “We have a lot of her artifacts, and a lot of things of hers that she’s written that will someday be shared. There’s a lot more to come from Carrie.”

On Fisher appearing in Episode IX: “There’s a lot of minutes of footage. I don’t mean just outtakes. This is unused, new content that could be woven into the storyline. That’s what’s going to give everybody such a great kick. It’s going to look like it was meant to be. Like it was shot yesterday. We’re not allowed to talk about the details of anything, but we’re thrilled at what’s been done.”

On her legacy: “She was able to be such a shining light, and was able to create such beautiful words and great art in every discipline she put her mind or hand to. I love it when people stand up and tell me how much they admired her and how much inspiration she was to them.”
