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.

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.

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