RIP Princess Leia. And now her dear mother, Debbie Reynolds.

But then again, the stakes are high. Would it be any wonder that Luke is wrestling with the dark side of The Force. Obviously, IX ends on a high happy note bringing conclusion to the 9 episode saga.

What I don't want from IX is for the original trio (plus Lando and Chewie) to all be dead. Unfortunately, now that Carrie is gone, I can see that potentially happening.

What I would like to see in Episodes VIII or IX is for Laura Dern's character to actually be Mara Jade. That's major wish fulfillment, I know, but I'd still like to see it happen.

Prayers for Mark Hamill then. Regardless, if Luke's character dies, it will probably feel "right" and he becomes a Force ghost. Maybe he lets himself be killed fighting Ren just as Obi Wan did with Vader. That then sets up Rey. We'll just have to see.

I feel like the cleanest way this could work would be if Leia actually was supposed to die in VIII.

 

[Princess Leia]

Would it be inappropriate of them to computerize her face in Episode 9?

I bet they're going to do it, if Leia survives VIII (which I'm sure she will). They did it in Rogue One with middling results, they have 3 years to perfect the tech.

Well apparently Fisher was not on the cast list for Episode 9 (granted it's in pre-production)...so there is potential.

No. Not unless they are contractually obligated not to.

No. Not unless they are contractually obligated not to.

Spoiler: Rogue One

She signed away her likeness for Rogue One, so I don't see why they wouldn't use it for IX. I think they'd have to consult her mother, brother, or daughter about that.

May have been a one time thing given the story.

I think so. If they don't do re-shoots of VIII, maybe at a minimum do CGI to establish a death scene in IX but not throughout. Tarkin was different for Rogue One as the character already existed in IV.

The difference is CGI for characters who already appeared in movies that take place chronologically after Rogue One. If filming is done with VIII, okay, but IX is a new episode. Use CGI to establish her death if they must but please, don't keep her "alive" through the entirety of the movie.

Enough already.

Enough already.

While EW is entertainment news, I believe this story. They wouldn't make this up. Prayers. Possibly a stroke: http://ew.com/movies/2016/12/28/debbie-reynolds-hospitalized-2/

Oh I believe it. I've just had enough of 2016's carnage. It's enough already.

I agree! Her poor daughter - imagine loosing your mother and then the very next day, your grandmother is seriously ill.

I've loved her since I was a little girl!

Gosh...such massive losses and hardly 24 hours apart from one another. Absolutely horrible. 2016 really has been a rough year..
