Same here, even though it may be a bit too soon to think about that.  I believe that most of the filming for Episode 8 had already taken place but this will surely throw a wrench into the script for Episode 9.

Well, given how they can CGI people these days like they did for Rogue One, I'd have to say the answer to that is: not at all.

Judging by how they handled Tarkin in Rogue One, I think they will use a similar technique potentially.

Quite possibly, but Tarkins CGI was very noticeable.  I wouldn't want the same done to Leila, especially if she is going to play a major role.  If she doesn't die in Episode 8, I can see her death at the start of Episode 9.

True! I wasn't saying I would like it, but I wouldn't put it past them.

My wife and I read she had stopped breathing for an insane 10 minutes. the brain starts to die after 5. My immediate thought was, she wasn't coming back

This is really sad. I can't wait until this horrible year is over. It's just been awful all round.

Well apparently she did have a drug addiction, so that probably took it's tole on the heart.

From the moment she first stepped onto the screen in 1977’s “Star Wars,” the character of Leia Organa — whip-smart, wryly funny and fearless enough to stand up to the likes of Darth Vader without batting an eye, with an instantly iconic set of buns on either side of her head — inspired generations of young girls to be bold and inspired crushes in generations of young boys. 

 

And a few not so young boys.

This sucks,  did she manage to get through the episode 8 filming?  I haven't been following it closely so I'm not sure.

RIP Princess ;-(

 

Yes... filming was completed back in July.

May the force be with you Carrie.

Same thing to Paul Walker for Fast & Furious movies.  They use Paul's brother in 7th movie. They could use CGI version of Paul Walker in Fast 8.  Since Vin Diesel wants Paul to be proud that Paul is part of the movie in his honor. Something like that.

 

 

RIP Carrie.  May the force be with you.

2016.  You are nothing but a damned Nerf Herder.

[ctebah]

Substance abuse will usually take years off a persons life.  Some reports are saying that she stopped breathing for 10 minutes.

[George P Global Moderator]

Since filming is already done for episode 8 then they don't have to do any CGI stuff unless it's some needed reshoots but I haven't heard anything about them doing any at this point in time. 

 

It still messes things up for what they can do afterwards.
