Carrie Fisher's Posthumous Career Explained
After the passing of a working performer, it's not uncommon for projects they were involved in to still be in post-production or production stages. Due to the lengthy process of post-production, these projects may not be released until a year or more after filming has wrapped, allowing them to still be released following the actor's death. This was the case for Fisher, who had finished filming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi before her passing. However, Fisher's posthumous career spanned longer than usual, as she also appeared in Wonderwell and Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, thanks to unused footage from previous Star Wars films.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Fisher's passing, Wonderwell offers audiences a final opportunity to see her deliver a complete performance. The extended post-production process and COVID-19 shutdown may have caused an unexpected delay, but it ultimately resulted in an iconic actor making a final appearance on the big screen.
