- Find a way to relocate her character out of the main events.
Hopefully, Lucasfilms won’t see this (or else they may not use it), but an idea could be to have Leia go to Ach-tu (or another planet with a Jedi temple) to connect with the spirits in an effort to make peace with her father and learn from him and Luke on how to become one with the Force. It could be explained in the opening crawl for episode 9 or a line of dialogue from one of the other characters.
