Star Wars 8 The Last Jedi: Will Snoke meet Carrie Fisher’s Leia? Andy Serkis SPEAKS OUT

The 60-year-old actress sadly died last December, having completed The Last Jedi.

Since she won’t be in Episode IX, fans have been wondering if Fisher’s Leia will share a scene with Supreme Leader Snoke.

Now Serkis, who plays the villain, has confirmed that the two characters don’t meet.

Speaking with The List, he paid tribute to Fisher: ““I had no scenes with Carrie but I did get to know her a little bit.”

Serkis continued: “She was an incredible human being with a wonderful personality and she’s sadly, sadly missed.

“Everyone who came into contact with her was really touched by her great energy and great sense of humour. 

“She is a wonderful person and I did have a great time working with the cast and Adam Driver and Domhnall Gleeson, we’ve had some really great times on it.”

Earlier this week a LEGO Star Wars figure of Snoke was spotted for sale online with a Palpatine hologram.

The new toy suggests its highly likely that Emperor Palpatine will return for The Last Jedi in some form.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi will be released in UK cinemas on December 14, 2017.
