Sadly we didn't get to see Carrie Fisher stick on those hair buns one last time before her tragic passing, but a leaked cast list was bang on with the promised return of some fan-favorites.

She Is The Chosen One: Why Lucasfilm Should Hire Patty Jenkins For 'Star Wars: Episode IX'
In the same way that the Force convulsed after the destruction of Alderaan, the internet is now ablaze with gossip in the wake of Colin Trevorrow’s exit from Star Wars: Episode IX. Both he and Lucasfilm have cited the good old “creative differences” line as the reason for their split, however, talk has already turned to his replacement.
