No changes to The Last Jedi because of Carrie Fisher's death, says Disney CEO

Disney CEO Bob Iger says the upcoming Star Warssequel has not been changed due to the death of Carrie Fisher.

Fisher completed filming her role as Princess Leia/General Organain The Last Jedibefore her death following a heart attack in December.

Fisher "appears throughout" the film and her performance "remains as it was,"Igersaid in an interview at a University of Southern California techconference Thursday.

• Without Carrie Fisher, where does Star Wars go next?
• No plans to digitize Carrie Fisher in future Star Wars films

A digitizedportrayal of Fisher, who speaks just a single word, concluded the one-off film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

He added that Disney is discussing "what could be another decade and a half of Star Wars stories."

Iger's remark came on the same day Disney ended speculation that he would retire this year by extending his contract one year to 2019. He says he and Disney's board thought they needed more time to work on a succession plan.
