I'm actually leaning towards recasting, which I never thought I'd be okay with. I actually didn't have a problem with Tarkin or Leia in Rogue One, but for the amount of screentime I'd like to see, I think recasting is the way to go.

TLJ really left so much that I want to see. Leia is in the perfect position to have so much to do in Ep 9. I desperately want a conversation/confrontation between her and Kylo. If anybody is the impetus for Kylo's redemption (other than himself, which is my number one pick), I want it to be Leia.

And I want to see her rebuild the Rebellion and the Republic. I want one of the original three to actually succeed in their life's work and to live long enough to see evil really defeated.

But with Carrie dead, I'm so afraid they're just going to kill her off off-screen or give her something equally disappointing.

I agree. I absolutely want a recast. It may seem wrong to a lot of people, but I think that's because they are too fixated on Carrie Fisher BEING Leia instead of playing the role of Leia. I know that it's an iconic role and it certainly is connected to the actress. Bug in the end, it still is a role and a recast would make sense. It won't happen but I'd prefer it to Leia getting killed off screen, CGI or frankensteining some scenes from discarded footage and cut scenes together to get some more screen time into the next movie.

A recast would absolutely not make sense when the same actor as played the role for 5 movies so far. No, Carrie isn't Leia and Leia isn't Carrie, but apart from Doctor freaking Who, you generally can't just recast a main character, especially not an iconic one.

idk, it's happened before. Spartacus, for example. Maybe not as iconic as Leia. But on the other hand, Leia DOES exist independently of Carrie. It's an intricately built and beloved space opera in which a character more famous than the actress who portrays her named Leia has a legacy. It is weirder to me to not conclude this character's arc properly, than to suddenly get rid of her without doing the character justice.

Of course it could make sense. With the exception of small children people are generally aware that movies are pretend, with actors playing roles, and some of them even have imaginations.

[fishnchips]

It would make sense. I get it that a lot of people loved Carrie and for them, the role of Leia is intrinsically connected to her as the actress. But the movies tell the stories of its characters, not its actors, and just getting rid of the character off screen or using CGI (which, afaik was something Fisher was actually against doing) even though she still has a place in the plot and a story to tell would make much less sense than recasting the role. In fact, it would be a disservice to the role's legacy.

Thinking about it, I'm coming to think they should recast Leia. This may be one case where it's more respectful to recast and finish the story than not to recast. She wasn't fired; she died.

[greghousesgf]

I thought Dr. Who didn't count because the doctors are all different characters.

[anarchicq]

Linda Blaire's got my vote.

[ketita]

Agreed. I think the best thing for the character is a recast, as much as the thought of not seeing Carrie onscreen saddens me. I think that a much more fitting legacy for the character is to allow her to live our her role and complete her storyline, rather than doing some kind of hack-job or weird CGI or something.
We know they're actors, we can live with that.
