I honestly agree, OP. I really, really, really am trying to convince myself I've liked Leia in the new trilogy, but it falls flat and all I see is Carrie. It might be the script, it might be the fact that her personality became practically more iconic than the role, idk. But the acting feels weak and she doesn't feel regal.

It's the actor's prominence overtaking the character. It's not a failing of the script or the actor. It's a failure of humans.

You ever wonder why well-known actors need to go to great lengths to establish their characters in later films? It's because they and everyone else knows that the audience has been primed to see them as Actor rather than as Character. It's the irony and paradox of fame. You're a box office draw, but your power and potential as an actor is also hamstrung by your visibility and recognizability.

You aren't able to separate ST Leia from Carrie because you got too caught up in Carrie. It's the case for a lot of people and it's not anyone's fault.

I think it's all three. Carrie's acting wasn't great, the script didn't give her a chance to be great, and her rl personality is so opposite of Leia that it makes her seem out of place.

I honestly don't see how you could say her acting wasn't great in TLJ. Maybe I can see it in TFA, though I don't agree. But TLJ? She was amazing.

I am scratching my head and can't think of a single scene where she impressed. She went through the motions, and her role used absolutely minimal facial expressions. She spent a large portion of the movie out of commission, too. What part did she act that you were impressed? I'm seriously asking. I felt like she was made of wood.

[philstar22]

Every scene she was in, I felt she portrayed both Leia's strength and her exhaustion. Also her stubbornness. And her emotions when Luke challenged Kylo and then when he (probably) died. They were restrained as they would be for someone like Leia, but I could still see them. I think showing restrained emotions is actually harder than being really visible with them. She made it clear how Leia was feeling while still showing her to be the in-control character she is.

I've got to agree with AYRT. I in no way have it in for Carrie Fisher, but I found her acting genuinely bad in TFA and just passable in TFA.

*Second instance of TFA should say TLJ, obvs.
