Bittersweet issue certainly for fans of this and the next chapter

Carrie Fisher's death (as you know on 12/27/16*) makes this and the next one her final (not only Star Wars but final anything) two films. So that means if Princess Leia, in yet another one made (after Carrie's appearance next year), that means her being either dead or in stock footage (a la Talia Shire as Adrian in Creed, Adrian had gotten killed off) ,or in pictures (also a la Creed), someplace (Adrian in Creed was in her own resturant's pictures..convient Rocky films had her having her own resturant.) In fact Carrie f.'s Leia picture is only superimposed, she herself isn't "real;ly" in Rogue One (2016) Carrie Fisher's last is this year's installment. No more actual physical "Carrie"=ing one, just stock film, or superimposing.

As for Rocky, at least Talia Shire's still alive so either a prequel, fantasy installment reviving Adrian from the dead , have the death from Rocky Balboa (2006) be fake, or having Talia play a cousin or sister can be done. Carrie Fisher's no longer alive to play more than one posthumous Leia character, and Fast and the Furious doesn't have Paul Walker either even posthumously, for anything but stock footage.

*death of Fisher was followed by her famous one-and-only mother Debbie Reynold's on 12/28/16.
