So would you rather have a CGI Leia and have her for the finale or just have her dead (or whatever) in the beggining.
OOOOOOOOR maybe she gets really scared and wears a mask?
Question is some kind of leia, CGI, MAsk, othe r actress etc or no LEIA at all?
(Also could the admin make two more subborads SOLO and Episode IX? Thank you very much)

No Leia.
First scene should be her funeral.
The only problem I see with this, is that no established Alliance leaders are left to memorialize her. Poe didn't know her well enough, same with Rey. Holdo's dead, even Ackbar is gone.
I see only two options:
1. Lando. Bring him back, have him deliver her eulogy. He's the only one that's left with enough history and (presumed) rank to do it.
2. Chewbacca. Through Rey translating. It might sound silly at first, but handled correctly, Chewy is one of her oldest friends, it could be extremely emotional if they shoot it right. (This also allows the new lead of the films to deliver the eulogy without making up some sort of deep relationship during the time between movies)

I'd do a CGI Leia and have her killed at the start of ep IX in the opening action sequence, i.e. give her an Heroic death. Hell, they could film it so they don't show her face until she gets killed to minimise the CG.

I would not surprised if the first line of crawl would read: "General Leia Organa has died". And we start with a funeral pyre sequence a la Qui Gon Jin. And if asking Admin for new Solo and Ep IX boards you must user link it - I did in the past without response.

Well, they've already done it to Peter Cushing so it might happen. Maybe they could use her sister Joely as a double same as they did for Paul Walker?

Another possibility could be using unused footage from Eps 7&8, and inserting into scenes.

No CGI Leia. Just recast her with another actress.

I imagined the same, with the crwal, but it seems an off screen death is not enough. Would a full length movie with CGI Leia be too off putting?

- Recasting Leia would not be acceptable for most of the fanbase and destroy the story-immersion (that's not Leia, it's disrespectful) as Fisher had an unique look and sound.
- CGI-ing her would be a disaster because it would be against their word, be off-putting/insensitive (dead person) and people love to hate on even the best done CGI.
- Off screen death would be an issue too, but people would understand why it was done this way, and if we get at least a bit of mourning with a funeral scene they would take it as a tasteful tribute to the accress and the character (who was THE leader). It's the least controversial, and tasteful solution IMO.
Recasting or CGI Leia would only be done if Leia is absolutely needed for the story, but as we know they are pretty flexible and open story wise.

Yeah, I think you are right...

I've mentioned it on another thread, but I wonder if they'll do something (as far as how much we see/hear about her death) similar to how STAR TREK BEYOND handled the passing of Leonard Nemoy. That, at the beginning of the movie, the audience is informed Spock is gone and later, Spock opens the effects of his original timeline counterpart, and we saw the image of Spock among his original-timeline bridge crew, in their old uniforms, together. For STAR WARS 9, they could easily have it open with some sort of memorial type deal: either a moment of silence among the new leaders (including Poe) of the Resistance/NuRebellion, marking the second anniversary of the passing of General Leia Organa-Solo/Skywalker-Organa, before they pick up the meeting OR they have Poe crouched in front of a headstone (or whatever they have for Jedi/Generals in a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away) and Poe talks to her for a moment, establishing how much things have changed, how much he's taken on, that she died as a result from her wounds in LAST JEDI, etc. And after that, aside from getting Force-Ghost scenes, they treat her death the way they treated the loss of Obi-wan and Yoda.

The only option is to kill her off with some manipulated extra footage from TFA and TLJ or just kill her off in the opening crawl.
Anything else would infuriate too many people.

I'd go with the opening crawl.

Possible they had a scene intended for this one, and they will refashion it for the next, but a crawl with obit notice seems a possibility.
Episode IX: GUESS WHO DIED?
...in case you didn't know, the other has kicked the bucket of bantha foodoo. But who cares about her when the real tragedy is our beloved Admiral Ackbar is lost in space.
This movie could be about the quest to find him but the assholes in charge don't want that so instead it will be about the broom kid.
So here we are, get ready to be shocked and bored...

That said, if they end up doing something stupid or disrespectful, I'll be like, "...Yeah." I'm thinking a time lapse of several years, with open war between the (now rebels ans it's allies) and an opening crwal like you said: The beloved princess Leia is no more. The First order dominates the galaxy only opposed by a band of rebels led by the hot-shot pilot Poe Dameron and the former Stormtrooper Finn that seek guidance of former Rebel General Lando Calrissian. Amidst the raging war there have been scarce sightings of the New supreme Leader Kylo Ren, amongst his apprentices, the knights of REN that terrorize the Galaxy seeking newly discovered force users. The Legend of a new savior, akin to the fabled Luke Skywalker, rise, but, like it's predecessor, the whereabouts of this Last Jedi remain unknown. It then cuts to a battle to save younglings from the knights of REN, After that it cuts to Lando in Leias grave. Rey has been teaching herself in the ways of the force with the books and Luke force ghost while giving shelter to younglings that are force sensitive. A Mini Jedi Academy. Meanwhile Kylo Ren is doing the same with his force younglings. They keep in touch discussing the ways of the force, while teaching their respective younglings.

How about none of the above? The last Hunger Games did well enough navigating around Philip Seymour Hoffman's death. His character shares a similar role to Leia's as a leader of a Resistance. I don't know how big his part was originally supposed to be, but they just had him out of action and had other characters speak for him. We see him once or twice, which I assume was unused footage from previous films. Why not something like that? No CGI, no recasting, and God help us, no killing off between movies (this is Princess f***ing Leia!).
