Disney has issued a statement regarding the rumors of CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) being used to continue Carrie Fisher's roles in any upcoming movies:

We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher's performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.

Of course that would be after they already recreated her as young Princess Leia in Rogue One. I'm kinda torn because I found nothing funnier than her CGI face in that movie. Moff Tarkin was done quite well, but Leia looked like she had several strong psychedelic edibles and a glorious bowel movement just 2 minutes before.

Assuming that they could do it better, who is for recreating our favorite characters with CGI?

    So she looked like a young Carrie Fisher then. Mission Accomplished!

    Those would have been psychoactive snortables (of a euphoria-causing stimulant) more than psychadelic edibles. Some people still care about the subclassification of such things. ("Narcotics" being one word that particularly grates, there's a very strong clue in the name that stimulants shouldn't be included, but I know I lost that battle over half a century before I was born when the US government started using the term willy-nilly.)
