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?

I haven't seen Rogue One yet, but I also don't really understand the problem. Actors are not characters. On the stage, it's the norm for different actors to play the same character and it's not even that unusual in film. If an actor can't do the film, for whatever reason, then you can either cast someone or something else or remove the character. If the character is central to the plot, then you do the story a disservice by dropping them. If a CGI image of the actor is less jarring to the audience than a completely new actor, then why not use it instead?
For me, the only real questions are: Is the CGI up to the job, or would they be better off casting a new actor and does Leia still matter for the stories that they want to tell in the Star Wars universe?
