Could be problematic considering we don’t know the extent of Leia’s involvement in VIII. If they cut out some of her performance and place it in IX we could end up seeing her for a few minutes not to mention the story problems that could arise if this isn’t done in a sufficient manner. This whole ordeal is making me nervous.
Same. I would have greatly preferred to have her full role fleshed out in 8 and then recast her for 9 and not alter the script at all. Keeping the story consistent is what is the best course of action in my books.
But what actresses could fill that role that look like Carrie? I don’t they exist lol
The best way to deal with this is of course putting out some comic or novel that has her dying in it. I think it would be better than just addressing her death with a couple lines of throw away dialogue.
I get that it’s Star Wars and the setting/story (and the character of General Leia herself) would actually lend itself to this kind of an ending, but it would be considered in poor taste.
They’re going to wrap up the story as best they can, using whatever footage they can. It really wouldn’t surprise me if they end up using digital tools of some sort for certain shots. I feel like that’s an inevitability.
