If her role and performance in Ep 8 will be as unimpressive as it was in TFA, Star Wars should be moving forward normally.
However, I do agree that she deserves a scene in Ep 9.
That was uncalled for.
There are so many over-exaggerated opinions in this thread about the impact of Fisher on the new trilogy. I am an honest person. I gave a realistic appraisal. And I did so in a civil and respectful manner.
taking a cheap shot at someone’s acting (even if you were right, which you may be), is not respectful.
Since when is being honest and realistic a “cheap shot” or disrespectful? Do you take a cheap shot at and being disrespectful to Hayden when you say his acting in PT was unimpressive?
I am completely on your side here. If someone cannot stand the fact that we talk about Carrie’s last role and how it may be in the subsequent films (which is a determining part of finding out how to move forward without her), they should not visit this thread. It’s like going into a spoiler thread and complaining that some people are talking about something “too soon”. And that you have to catch insults for your statement is just ridiculous.
Warbler also makes a valid point. Nobody else than Carrie’s family could be the moral instance for deciding if the CGI is appropriate. If they say no, then Disney will certainly find another good way. Especially with that extra 41 Million dollar budget that ferris209 linked.
Another funeral fire would be the third one throughout the saga then, right?
