The Choc Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 They aren't going to recast it, I'd be completely shocked if they did. Most likely will have her die offscreen somehow. Have her on a ship that is about to escape into hyperspace but is shot down before it can. Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANA-kin Skywalker Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning toward simply cast a new actor as Mon Mothma and just have her do whatever Leia was supposed to do outside of any family business. Split the role in half. Sally Field could pull off any Kylo Ren stuff with some help. The logic I'm going with is its best to keep the original story more or less stay the same. I think.

Whether it's done in 8 or 9, having her go out in a ship explosion during some space battle or heroic rescue or something would be fitting both for the character and as a nice tribute.

Filthy Jawa Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 She really didn't do anything in Force Awakens. I don't really have any curiosity about where the character goes at this point. She was one of the leaders or the leader of the Resistance, led the search for the old hope, who also happens to be her brother, and is the mother of the main villain, who some speculate may turn back from the dark side. And she's one of the main characters from the original trilogy. All that said, no she's not one of the lead characters of this story, but it's a pretty big supporting role. Mon Mothma is a bit part.

DANA-kin Skywalker Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's a fairly big role BECAUSE it was princess Leia/Carrie fisher, though. Split. The. Role. Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 People can say it's a minor role or whatever but there is a pretty good chance that even if she didn't have many scenes in the next 2 movies that she very likely had one or two very important ones with Kylo Ren.

DANA-kin Skywalker Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 No doubt. I still think Sally Field or someone can totally pull off any story-critical scenes. The right camera angles, good editing, CG her voice real good...just no long scenes where the camera lingers on her face too long. There's your Kylo Ren kills his mom scene or whatever. The rest of her role as a general though...if the story needs someone to say "lets send the fleet to planet Zoopat" or whatever...just cast a new character for that bit part. It doesn't need to be Leia. Just give those lines to someone else. Hell, a CG hollogram of Leia would be fine too. However, I think I prefer an actual person because my brain knows Carrie Fisher was not alive for that so it's a bit jarring. I'm not going to eat this whole role. Want half?

The Choc Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I agree, any generic military leader parts are no big deal. It's really just the potential emotional scene with Kylo. I just don't think they will do what you are proposing. Everyone would be looking at the scene to see how it was filmed and if they used CG or a voice actress or whatever. Basically everyone would be looking at the scene to see how they pulled it off, rather than just watching the scene. If there is some big emotional Leia-Kylo scene in the offing for 9 I think some of their options are 1-Transfer them to Luke. Obviously a problem if Luke is supposed to die in 8. If Luke survives 8 though, this would seem to be an easy solution. 2-Have a hologram made by Leia that was designed to be played for Kylo if the chance arose. Would be much easier to pull of some sort of CG stuff here because a hologram doesn't have to look as perfect as an actual person. 3-Have Kylo in his old "padded room" talking to himself about his mother and basically have him have the conversation with himself that he was supposed to have with Leia.

Is that why Supreme Leader Snoke looked so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Actually--yes. Seeing some of the renders they cooked up, he looked high quality. The hologram effect made the cg look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
