There is a ton of excitement as we race toward the release ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi, which arrives in theaters on August 19, 2025. For many fans, it is going to be difficult watching the movie knowing that it isCarrie Fisher’s final performance as Princess Leia. Disney and Lucasfilm understand just how important her legacy is and, as such, it sounds like they may be doing a little tribute to her during the end credits inStar Wars 8.
Super fan and YouTuberMike Zerohrecently posted a video to his channel claiming that, based on knowledge from a source he has at Pinewood Studios where the movie was shot,Star Wars: The Last Jediwill include a sequence of some kind during the credits in honor ofCarrie Fisher’s legacy. Here is what he had to say about it.
“A couple of months ago [it was said that] both Disney and Lucasfilm were including aCarrie Fisher tributeat the very end of The Last Jedi within the credits. It would be a little thing that they would show…[leaving] the fans teary-eyed.”
He didn’t go into what this tribute would be, but probably a little video of some kind. This would definitely be breaking tradition for aStar Warsmovie. The credits in aStar Warsmovie have historically been just that. They are credits that roll toJohn Williams' score. But in this particular case, the brass at Lucasfilm felt it may be worth breaking tradition and including a little something to honor the late Carrie Fisher. According to Mike Zeroh, this tribute, whatever it is, actually has original music from John Williams.
“What’s really great, reportedly, is that John Williams did a little mini score for that sequence [by] itself alone. It will be a great send off to Carrie Fisher as an actress, as a person, as a script doctor, just an amazing individual to say the least.”
Disney and Lucasfilm have done everything in their power to honor Carrie Fisher and thelegacy of Princess Leiasince the actress passed away late last year. It has been made clear that her performance forStar Wars: The Last Jediis unaltered and that she won’t appear inStar Wars 9. That leaves many questions in terms of how Leia will be dealt with within theStar Warsmovies, since she was originally going to be a big part ofStar Wars 9. But we can’t really speculate much on that until we actually seeStar Wars 8.
In any case, it seems like the right move to do something like this. Princess Leia is one of the most iconic characters to ever grace the screen and giving fans a little something to send her off feels appropriate.
