Deleted scene of Carrie from TFA. Honestly, I think that she gave her best performance in the film in that clip. When I saw the film, she just seemed to be hanging out and having fun. This scene shows her personality, and there's more than a bit of the original Princess Leia in her last line.

They should have kept that scene.

Disney and Carrie's estate are in talks.

According to BBC Newsnight, the Walt Disney Company is negotiating with Carrie Fisher’s estate “over her continued appearance” in the Star Wars franchise.

Before you jump to conclusions that Lucasfilm is definitely planning on digitally recreating the late actress for Episode IX, the Newsnight quotes were unspecific beyond the fact that negotiations are taking place.

Lucasfilm could be negotiating Fisher’s appearance in Episode IX, just like Peter Cushing was put into Rogue One, but it could be something as simple as making sure they have the estate’s permission to continue to put Fisher’s likeness on merchandise. It could mean a variety of other things. And just because they’re negotiating doesn’t mean they’ll definitely use her likeness—Lucasfilm could simply be hedging their bets for the future.

However, by comparing Fisher to Cushing, Newsnight does seem to suggest an on-screen, posthumous film appearance is in the cards. That wouldn’t necessarily be for Episode VIII, which Fisher had completed her filming for, but that’s also possible. Either way, it doesn’t flat out say anything definitive, so it’s impossible to say for sure. If anything, Newsnight is using the possibility of recreating Fisher as a jumping off point for a continuing ethical debate.

That's why I quoted the portions of the article that I did. There's all kinds of reasons why Lucasfilm would need to be in talks with Carrie's estate, without 'Tarkening' her.

Easiest way to dance around it, is give whatever big plot things she had to do to Luke and Billie Lord, when she absolutely has to appear, have her talk over vid-phone with deleted footage, and then kill her offscreen in the opening crawl of Episode 10.

That's kind of a shitty way to do it, but I don't see any other way.

I hope that around the time IX is released, they tell us what the original plans for Leia's character were. I bet Disney's got doctors swarming all over Hamill to make sure he's able to complete the series.
