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 what you're saying is that we should dig her up and use the clearly superior technology of animatronics.

    Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I hadn't thought of that, but it would be even MORE disrespectful than my idea was. So write a letter to Disney.

      Wow, really? You think digging up Carrie Fisher's corpse, duct-taping her to some sort of animatronic robot, and operating her like a puppet is a MORE disrespectful option.

      Huh! Well.....nevermind then. Please unsubscribe me from your newsletter.
