Princess Leia's Future

With the death of Carrie Fisher, there is a big gaping hole in the Star Wars universe. Ideally, Han and Leia ahould've died in a sacrificial pact. I'm certain this move to keep her along was a marketing one and not a story driven one.

I get the feeling Carrie would've enjoyed the turmoil this has caused Disney.

What would scenarios to send her off with dignity? Well, opening crawl is the quickest. "Leia was called to some distant planet to do something much more interesting, or live her life in exile as Yoda had..." Or with the death of Han, her grief caused her to go into hiding. Or something like that.

They have refused to bring her back from the dead through computer graphics. The fuck is the big deal anyway? She was a hologram jammed within R2D2.

I think she should go out in a blaze. Cut to some footage with her flying some spaceship into the Death Star's corpse. Top of the world, Ma!!!

Admiral Leia becomes a martyr.
Or drop her in carbonite. Lots of options.
