Yeah it's more about the possibility of having to adjust the story to account for her not being around for Ep 9. We don't know if Ep 8 intends to leave any unresolved threads with Leia as tie-ins or if they now decide to go ahead and set up her eventual absence. Principle photography is done but I don't think they have done any reshoots yet.

All they need to do is start the episode 9 scroll with "Princess Leia has overdosed on death sticks."

Yeah they could make it something just that simple. Have her death mentioned as part of the scrawl and open with a shuttle leaving a capital to carry some dignitary to her funeral.

There are some potential barriers to that. Using the image of a deceased actor in a movie requires the permission of the actor's family.

I don't know shit about movie contracts, but I'd be more than a little surprised if the contracts didn't include permission to use their likeness after their death just to be sure the family didn't pull some bullshit. Since she signed a 3 movie deal, I would think it would extend to the unfilmed movie.

Now, there could be complications to that. Maybe out of respect they would ask for permission, or maybe they have a clause where they can cancel the contract and not have to pay for the last film.

Multi-film contracts are generally set up on a option basis, with the discretion lying solely in the studio's hands. If they end up using her likeness for the third film I don't know how an existing contract would ultimately factor into that. Especially if she had the foresight and felt the need to do what Robin Williams did. He set up a foundation and had his rights of publicity granted to it in the event of his death. That's who has to give permission (and gets paid) for the commercial or promotional use of his image.

This is very new territory for the entertainment industry that's going to see some fleshing out over the next several years. Especially as the cost of recreating deceased actors drops. If it ever gets to the point that the porn industry can take advantage of it, look out.

I'll resurrect an idea I had a while back about doing a better job of utilizing Captain Phasma.

She flees the First Order because her monumental fuck up in lowering the shields on Starkiller Base and becomes a bounty hunter of sorts, intent on redeeming herself to Snoke. She takes out some key Resistance figures and eventually moves on to Finn, to make him answer for his betrayal but especially as payback for the direct role he played in her fall from grace. Killing Leia could easily be incorporated into that.

It would be far better if they just pretended that garbage writing never happened. Supposedly badass stormtrooper captain gets taken captive and meekly agrees to lower the shield so the resistance can blow up the First Order's planet sized superweapon without ever trying to raise an alarm?

Just one more terrible thing about that movie. The best thing for Ep 8 and Ep 9 is to pretend that only about 10% of Ep 7 actually happened. The important characters got introduced, Han died, the senate was destroyed, the superweapon was destroyed, and Rey met Luke but was not carrying his lightsaber.

The final shot of Ep 7 would make more sense if Rey was holding a dildo instead of Luke's lightsaber. You know, the lightsaber that would have plummeted down the same trash chute Luke did and then fell into the core of a gas giant to be destroyed by the intense gravity?

Or instead of a dildo, maybe Maz should have had Luke's green saber, with the explanation being that he abandoned it after Ben went bad and it eventually found its way into Maz' keeping.

Filters Gav, lightsaber was caught in a filter. I know there was talk of the hand in space, but I never saw that scene. I imagine some moron found it and promptly cut his arm off. It then went to the security station where it sat in storage until Lobot needed a gift for his kid, who promptly cut his face in half. Eventually ending up in Maz's possession where she new enough to hide it away because of seeing it's history with her butthole eyes.

considering it was the first in a trilogy the movie did an especially shit job of making any of the foes look like a force to be reckoned with. Phasma was a joke, Kylo got his ass beat by some scrub cunt, the whole Empire managed to get their brand new super weapon destroyed without putting up any semblence of resistance. it was a fucking clown show.
