I wish they would recast rather than burying the character along with Carrie, but I realize that is a controversial opinion.

How. How do they recast a main character six movies in. Please tell me.

[ninety6tears]

How do they ever recast a character, I would ask, if talking to someone who is even vaguely promising a rational discussion about this. Jesus.

Open a casting call?

They just do? Actors have been recast before. Yes, Richard Harris was only Dumbledore for two movies instead of the five that Carrie Fisher was Leia, but that's an example. As is Spartacus listed above, where Andy Whitfield was Spartacus, the title character, for a season, which is more than comparable in my opinion. It was weird watching someone else in the role at first, but they had story to tell and I enjoyed it. Heck, if you go back to the 1960s, they recast Darren on Bewitched after years and more than 150 episodes.

I loved Carrie Fisher's Leia, and nothing will take that away, but as iconic as she was, Carrie was not Leia. And I love the character enough, and she was such an important part of my childhood that I would prefer the role be recast so Leia can be who she was intended to be rather than being given a death that doesn't suit the story or the character because of the tragedy that happened offscreen. I want Leia to live on, even if Carrie unfortunately cannot.

I don't know that it would happen, though, given opinions like yours and how sacrosanct a lot of fans seem to think every aspect of the franchise is.

I never could tell the Darrens apart.

Did you not see the Harry Potter movies?
Or how often they recast characters in Game of Thones?
