“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” will not be changed because of Carrie Fisher’s death. Disney had used a digital re-creation of a late actor in a previous “Star Wars” film. Igor also shed some more light on the upcoming standalone Han Solo film, which stars Alden Ehrenreich as the younger incarnation of the famous smuggler. Iger also teased the future of “Star Wars” beyond the already-planned films, including “Episode IX” and one more anthology installment. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” hits theaters Dec. 15, with the untitled Han Solo anthology film scheduled for a May 2018 release.
