I don't like CGI like this solely because I don't think the technology is quite there yet. Eventually, it will be impossible to tell the difference between a real person and a CGI character, and as long as the actor's estate is okay with it, it's a non-story otherwise.

Since the loss of Carrie is so recent, I think a CGI Leia would be jarring-- a reminder in the middle of an escapist fantasy that a real person is dead. At the same time, Leia is vastly important to this story and to write her out just because Carrie died is doing Leia a disservice. Nor can the character be recast.

There's no good answer. Someone, I wish I could remember who, made a very good point about this situation-- no matter what Disney does, people won't like it because what people would like is for Carrie to still be alive.

I mean, Episode IX won't come out for a few more years. I don't think it will be "jarring" then.

I don't think it will be jarring by the time it comes out if they end up doing it. I know that her death was a huge event for some of fandom but it wasn't much more than a surprising news story for the majority of people. Of course people still wish she were alive and feel sorry for her family (her earth killed her mother and JFC what that poor family must be going through), but really at the end of the day most audience members are just going about their own lives and Star Wars movies are just a nice little escape from the bills and grocery shopping and work and taking the kids to school. Seeing Leia again would most likely be a nice thing but no major thing if they don't.

Okay, so...apparently they CGI'd a character for Rogue One because the actor had died? Yeah, I 100% did not notice. I think the technology is there, or nearly so.
