He was just a tool, company property, first of the Naboo then the Jedi, before passing to the Rebel Alliance with Jimmy Smits. He never belonged to Kenobi. R2 was property of Anakin, anyway.

Bespin 8,480 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I just read that some key scenes between Leia and Ben where maybe already shoot for episode IX. So I'll bet they will go CG... After all, they don't have much talent than that to rewrite the scripts in a hurry... and get rid of such a key character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 They have plenty of time to do rewrites. If Fisher had a substantial role in Ep 9 its very unlikely they will just go CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Army Choir recording a virtual duet with Joe Dassin, I pass. Peter Cushing in a Star Wars movie, okay. Peter Cushing in the next Jurassic Park, as a new dino, I pass.

Will 2,215 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think there may be an opening, though, based on what very little I know about 8's plot, to reshoot some things and use some CGI to have Leia off in "retirement" due to injury or something by the end of the film. Maybe give her an off-into-the-sunset kind of moment that's sort of a proper goodbye. It would be very difficult, I'm sure, though ... and this late... And then in 9 say she passed away, and have some of Leia's friends look at a picture of her and say "I miss her" or something, kind of like how that dealt with Nimoy in Beyond IIRC. I was thinking at first that they should kill off the character on screen, but that might not be appropriate. Giving a "second death."

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 They had a different Spock in Beyond though, so you can't really compare. But yes they will probably write her out. Its very unlikely they will replace her with CGI, since it's very tricky and expensive technically, they probably aren't legally allowed too and they are real issues of a moral nature. Recasting an iconic character is also tricky. Especially when the actress returned to the role a few years earlier. Possible, but I doubt it.

Bespin 8,480 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I wish they had this technology when making Prisoner of Azkaban. The new actor they took for Dumbledore ruined all my interest for the series. Then for the next episode, they changed the composer. The end of the world, you say? Don't ask why Daniel Radcliffe started to drink! Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ok. Also, the biggest reason they are safest to opt for writing Leia out is that Disney/Lucasfilm comes away from it maintaining the moral high ground. Even if the rewrite is a bit clumsy and awkward, what other choice did they have? You can't replace an icon? Will and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like people won't be happy if Leia is as good as ever at the end and suddenly in nine they say "She died!" Maybe they need to use a little CGI plus reshoots in eight to make her scenes a tad more sentimental, foreshadowing the death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be another prank, though. ETA: Somebody pointed out that Pop Culture Quest is at 7 episodes right now, making their next Episode 8. And there's technically no mention of Star Wars in the tweet besides the logo that just says "VIII" lol. It's definitely gotta be a joke.
