If Carrie dies, will there be no more new Star Wars trilogy?

Do you think the new Star Wars trilogy is canceled because of Fisher's heart attack? Is it possible she could pass on?

Regarding your first question: No. The money is too big and Carrie, to be blunt, is incidental to it.

Regarding your second question: It's more than "possible" she'll pass on. It's a 100% certainty -- just as it's 100% certain that you, me and every other human being will "pass on". What you mean is, will she pass on from her recent heart attack. I have no idea. Why don't you contact her family and ask for an update?

Regarding your post overall: Pretty stupid and tasteless.

If Daniel Craig died, would James Bond continue without him?

Carrie has already finished filming Star Wars, Episode VIII, but if she died, is unable or doesn't want to do Episode IX, then she would probably just be written out of it completely or the character could be killed off.

With all the money Disney paid for the Star Wars franchise, there is no way they would just stop making new movies.

Of course it won't. They'll figure out a way to explain her absence.

And Carrie does seem to be in a stable condition in hospital...

Many characters have died in the series - along with some of the actors - so the series can survive a character dying. The death of an actor/actress might require a rewrite of one of the movies.

As happened in the Harry Potter movies, the death of Dumbledoor's original actor didn't force them to stop the series. They had another actor take over that part. It's conceivable they'd do that with Leia - not likely, but possible.

I'd bet my bottom dollar Disney would not recast Leia for Episode IX-C.

If Leia survives VIII, and Carrie died before IX or a future film begins filming/during filming/whatever, Disney could:

A. Between films, have Leia die in battle.

B. Briefly show Leia (archive footage/CGI/stand-in) and then kill her in battle.

C. Briefly show Leia, and have her "walk off into the sunset"/board a ship to live happily ever after.

D. Between films, have Leia "walk off into the sunset" to live happily ever.

E. ?

F. ?

if Miss Fisher dies, then they can cast Amy Shumer.

I swear if you compare their faces they look related. Of course, Amy would have to drop her faux-feminist tone, some weight, and dye her hair brown but I think it could work.

The series will continue no matter what. This is a for profit business.

Actors have passed away in the middle of films being shot, and the film continued to completion with success. The best example may be Natalie Wood dying almost in the middle of filming Brainstorm. By using creative re-writing, picking up footage from the cutting room floor, body doubles, and voice doubles, they finished the film and made it all work pretty well.

Because Episode IX hasn't been shot yet, I imagine if she did pass away, or were too ill to continue, they'd write her out of it as well as possible, or just use other footage or archival footage to explain it away. Because it sounds like her heart attack was fairly serious, they may already be planning on re-working the script to cut her role back, or find a way to make it as easy as possible for her to shoot when the time comes.

She needed to be rescued in A New Hope, and she was Jabba's slave-girl in Return of the Jedi.

I love Carrie Fisher, but let's be honest, Leia was no Rey or Jyn.

They all had their moments where they needed help.
Luke had his arm sabered off..who helped him?

She was treated like an object by a nasty fat slug thing. what does that say about perverts?

Yeah. Leia frees Solo from carbonite later in the movies. she wasn't the stereotypical damsel in distress.

Leia knew how to use a blaster, and was an effective leader. Plus she was not afraid to do actual work, instead of sitting around like her mother.

We even see Leia welding on the Millennium Falcon when they're essentially stuck.
