Star Wars: What Is Luke Skywalker's Role In Episode 9?

2. Luke And Leia Together Again

Luke and Leia had a touching reunion in The Last Jedi, albeit one the former wasn't physically there for. It was a nice endpoint for their relationship but, with both confirmed for this movie, then there's a chance for one last goodbye.

This will end the Skywalker saga, so it'd be quite fitting for the pair to appear again right at the very end. Luke could well appear as a ghost to his sister, since they've always had a special connection through the Force, to help guide her in the right direction.

Alternatively, if this movie is going to kill Leia off, then she could reunite with Luke that way, with the pair of them accepting of their fates and disappearing for good to truly close the book on their forty-year history.
