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?

    Depends what you mean by perfect. She looked like an actual person, but she had some sort of vibe like she was some other person. But, definitely the better one.

    The Grand Moff Tarkin they featured was terrible, not necessarily because the CG effects, but the acting. The original character had a very somber look to him through the whole film. He didn't have much affect and brang a great deal of weight to the roll. The new actor they had under the CG was downright cartoonish and zany. Something that was completely wrong for the role. And to make matters worse, they gave too much screen time to him, so you had a lot of time to take notice of the dead guy acting.
