Fisher reprises her role as Leia Organa in "Star Wars: Episode VIII," which is now in post-production, Variety reported.

The actress had many projects away from "Star Wars." She had a recurring role on the Amazon/Channel 4 comedy series "Catastrophe," playing the caustic mother of star Rob Delaney's character. Fisher was on a flight returning from her work on the show in London at the time she suffered a heart attack, Variety reported.
