When celebrities die mid-series, it's always... interesting? how writers try to do it.

It seems like you're damned no matter what you do, because in many cases - and certainly the case with Leia - while the character is independent of the actor and you don't want to dictate Leia's fate due to real world circumstances, Carrie also was Leia from her first portrayal. You can't recast in this case. Dumbledore was fine to recast because the character existed before the first actor, and no one really thought that actor "was" the character. Just not the case with Leia. So you're left with CGI - which is not only very, very hard to do respectfully after a recent death, it's also very hard to do, period. Or trying to rehash old footage and making a quick, sudden death, rather than allow the character to play out more naturally.

Honestly, as someone who is not exactly a fan of the series, I was extremely impressed with how Fast and the Furious did it. Maybe because the nature of that actor's death was SO terrible (and extremely difficult to separate from the content of the franchise), but writing him off by allowing the character to... live and move on from the plot, was really cool. I only saw like two of the other Fast and the Furious films, and I left the theater bawling. It was really beautiful and heartfelt and I'm so glad they did it the way they did.

So it might feel more fulfilling to me to have Leia live but write her off another way, but I'm not really sure how they could accomplish that. After all, it doesn't make sense for a character like Leia to just... go away, especially since the antagonist is her son. But killing the character off is going to be a huge task, not just for the problem of not having the actor, but essentially reliving Carrie's actual death. It's going to be painful no matter what.

With Furious 7, it helped and Paul Walker had brothers who were identical enough to him to allow them to finish filming the movie and not have to rely heavily on CGI or kill him off mid - movie.
