Princess Leia is Carrie Fisher's claim to immortality, Star Wars is the greatest thing she was a part of. She knew that, and I don't think it's arrogant to assume that she would want Leia's story arc to reach its intended end.Ricochet wrote:See, I never understand what that last part means. A) With the risk of sounding cynical, we shouldn't project what dead people would have liked. There are wills for that. B) You need an actor to finish a character's story. You cannot finish a story with a dead actor.Long Con wrote:And they did it for the Oracle in the third Matrix, and it was awful awful awful. They should absolutely CGI Leia.

It makes a lot more sense than assuming she would prefer for Leia to be killed off-screen with minimal fuss. Why does it have to be "fake-ass CGI bullshit"? Sure, if it looks fake, then the technology's not there yet, and it's not a good idea. If it looks like it's actually her, then I don't see how it's any different, really, than another actress. I haven't seen Rogue One, how did Tarkin look?
