The late Carrie Fisher returns to her role of Princess Leia for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as seen in a brand new trailer for the saga which debuted on Monday.
In the trailer, the actress, who died at age 60 last year, looks fearful and deep in contemplation as it’s suggested her on-screen son, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), is considering blowing up her ship.
‘Let the past die,’ Kylo’s voice can be heard as he hurtles through an outer space war zone. ‘Kill it, if you have to.’
