His walk back sounded fake to me. Regardless, if there are Leia scenes that were cut because they didn’t look good, they probably wouldn’t want to release them. But that’s not to say there’ll be no Leia deleted scenes released. There’s at least one shot of her in the trailers that wasn’t used (and looks pretty good). My guess is it was her saying MTFBWY to Rey before she left for Pasaana. Likely just cut for pacing.
It’s hard to say at this point though.
