A stupid petition isn’t gonna do anything. Carrie Fisher is not replaceable. They’ll kill off the Leia character. That’s the only choice.

Boy, there’s a “how dare you look at me” expression if there ever was one!

[SkyDancer]

[maddog55]

Shouldn’t be to hard to play a deceased person.

[Simon Green]

Such a stooopid clickbait headline.

Got that right.

[StAnDeliver]

Are there really 8000 so stupid as to not realize Carrie has already been thoroughly digitized - as far back as the early days at Pinewood? The only other women on earth who have a deeper digital library are that amorphous young thing that plays Rey , and probably gal gadot.

bad business decision. They will lose at least 1/2 or more of their audience. I have seen every Star Wars movie since the beginning but will gladly skip this one if they choose that old washed up liberal hag Meryl Streep.

[Army Air Corps]

My train of though jumped the track, and ploughed into a village.

[Terry Mross]

Star Wars fans I know are not very political.

[RooRoobird20]

The vile Meryl Streep should be shrouded and shunned. This petition is RIDICULOUS.

Meryl is a worthless hypocritical POS. I applaud and cheer every time she’s in a movie that bombs.

[DannyTN]

That’s what happens when the Jedi abdicate their responsibility.

The universe doesn’t balance it tilts to evil.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They should have gone ahead and let Leia die in Last Jedi.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That was Glen Close.

[BenLurkin]

Agreed

[Captain Peter Blood]

CGI has gotten pretty good and the technology is now there to bring any actor back from the “Dead” to be in a movie. So they could bring Carrie Fisher back all they want.

I just an article on an actress who will play Marilyn Monroe, they shot something like 6000 body shots of this woman and then put in CGI likeness over her and that woman looked very much Monroe, they can do the same for Fisher.

[BenLurkin]

[mass55th]

As if this series couldn’t get any worse.

[Mastador1]

Why replace her with another actress? Hell just use a stand in and go CGI, as if the movie is going to be any good anyway.

I hadn't watched one since the first trilogy and was conned into go see Rogue One, that was enough, instant Jedi reinforced my decision not to waste any more time or money on it. Sacrilege, I know

[Billthedrill]

I wonder if Bruce Jenner is available?

JarJar Binks was a Sith Lord.
