Imagine sifting through footage to figure out the perfect place to utilize a line of dialogue or a particular delivery. 'We went back through all that footage and you can see, 'Oh, how did she deliver this line?' You know, 'Never underestimate a droid.' Once you've got whatever the line is, once you've got that kind of library, you can start feeling the emotional quality,' he continued. There were times where they found the right dialogue, but it wasn't the correct intonation. 'The mechanics of that then became very much in J.J.'s court, initially, about writing scenes using lines that we knew we had access to so you can break it down in this massive pre-plan thing where you write the script, and you base it around deliveries,' explained Guyett of how Leia started to come together. Abrams and co-screenwriter Chris Terrio wrote scenes based off of the dialogue available to them from Fisher's unused footage. This is where the puzzle comes into play. ILM visual effects supervisor Patrick Tubach told Eric Eisenberg at Cinemablend the team tracked Fisher's posture and body movements from 'The Force Awakens' to apply to their new scenes in 'TROS.' One of the biggest challenges was matching Fisher's voice to specific scenes in 'Episode IX' If you're imagining that ILM simply cut and pasted Fisher's face onto a body, it wasn't that simple.
