I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of Luke's X-Wing entering Tattoine's orbit and landing near Ben's Hut or something like that.
Neither would I. In fact, I think JEDI needs a few more scenes of spaceships landing and taking off.

They've done it like a million times from way back in the days of The Crow and up through Tron: Legacy: taking a current star (or actor/stunt double/etc.) and superimposing another (and sometimes younger) face on them. Even Episode I had Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson's faces superimposed over their stunt doubles for a couple of shots. I'm sorry, but they can totally do it.
being able to do it and being able to do it convincingly are two completely different things. The Crow was just a few brief straight on shots. All the head replacements/ digital doubles in the prequels looked terrible. The Jeff Bridges digital younger self still suffered with the "uncanny valley" problem that plagues CG human creations. They still can't do it convincingly to this day.
True, but in T:L they really just needed to either take scenes of Jeff from earlier movies and CG the background, or find a lookalike and dub over him with Bridges. The basic gist of what Kristarwars speaks of "can" be done, but only judiciously and with a lot of thought, planning and skill. Even then, you can't film entire scenes with extended dialogue short of lookalikes or time machines.
Even so, is there really a need to do all of that extra "molesting Leia" stuff, short of doing a Hentai or whatever? Isn't the point kind of made just by showing her in the golden bikini?
But (and that's a big, fat but).. if you HAVE to do it, why not just keep it to CGing some slime on her face constantly dripping off from where Jabba uses her like a lollipop? What? Too much?
Or you can print off a bunch of those "Leia molested by Gamorrean Guards" pics, hand them out to the audience and right when the camera cuts to Leia in the slave outfit for the first time, the movie pauses and an ole timey silent movie-ish title pops up that says "open your packet now and see the horrors of the life of a slave girl".
