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?

    Could it be that Leonard Nimoy's image might be about publicity rights rather than the Spock character? Nimoy probably did not own any interest whatsoever in the Spock character. But "publicity rights" might have existed at the time. I would think everything else, scripts, characters, names, designs, everything is owned by the producer who is putting up the money.
