"We have many scenes in VIII, in this one coming up," Boyega said. "We worked together closely."

The British actor was in Nigeria with his family when he heard of Fisher's death in December.
"It was strange, a strange feeling. I felt like everyone in the cast -- obviously around the world -- just kind of went silent for a bit, kind of like a dim light."
So how can fans expect to feel about Fisher in The Last Jedi?
"It sends her off in a very very amazing way and she's kept alive in this franchise," Boyega said. "And that's the beauty of it. She lives forever, in a sense."
