Principal photography already wrapped and all Carrie's scenes for VIII were completed.

If Leia was supposed to be in IX that is where changes may occur.

I know that...but we don't how the story goes on..Somehow I don't feel that Leia will be in IX.

I'm sure the writers had contingency story arcs written in the event that something like this would happen.

So you think all the Leia parts in Episode VIII are taped already?

Luke's going to have to face Snoke or whoever is the big boss at some point in Episode IX. Leia's character will need to die in Episode VIII (not trying to be mean) in order for Luke to become more motivated to be the greatest Jedi but via an altered path. He will give into his hate and lean more to the dark side to learn how to defeat Snoke. Rey will bring him back to the good side before he also dies in her arms. Sound familiar?

Isn't it already confirmed that VIII was wrapped? And Luke will indeed have to face Snoke, his grandfather (just my conjecture) at some point.

IMO, VIII will involve more "out with the old, in with the new" that was started with Han Solo's death. So I do agree that either Luke or Leia or both may perish in the next film. But it'll be the new characters (Rey, Finn and perhaps even Ben/Kylo) that will confront Snoke/"The Big Boss", etc.

Just like the mythical exploits of Anakin and Obi-Wan in the past directly affected Luke, Leia & Han's story in the Original Trilogy, the flame will have to be passed to the new characters in the Sequel Trilogy. I see this happening through Han, Luke & Leia becoming more powerful as ideas and inspirations through their deaths. More so than what they represented in life.

Another parallel that I see happening is the notion of rebirth and redemption. If the PT is about Anakin's fall from grace amidst the deterioration of the galaxy, and the OT was about Luke and Leia's role in the restoration of their galaxy and their father, then the ST could be about the same cycle. The "awakening" in VII involved Rey's connection to the Light Side and Ben's to the Dark. Just as Luke's ascendance to the Light Side helped turn his father away from the Dark Side, Rey's journey could ultimately lead to Ben's redemption too.

One more thing: While watching TFA the other day I noticed something about Rey's infamous hairdo:


It's very similar to Joclad Danva's, one of the Jedi in the Geonosis Arena battle from II



So Rey's Jedi-like garb and hairstyle really suggest she was taken from Luke's Jedi Academy and hidden on Jakku. By whom or why? We'll have to wait till VIII to know (maybe).

Pretty cool clip on how ILM brought back Tarkin and young Leia in Rogue One via the uncanny valley:

Does anyone else also think Vader's tower on Mustafar looks very "Mordor-ish"?

[Robimus]

Just to weigh in on the possibility of Luke and Leia dying, that would be an absolutely horrible move.

So far all the Disney era of Star Wars has done is wrap itself in death and despair, using death as the only plot twists they seem to be able to muster.

They are not alone in this, it is trendy(see Walking Dead or Game of Thrones), but I do feel like they have gone overboard already. They should find a way to keep Luke and Leia alive at all costs.

Looks like weed is gonna be very easy to come by on the set of the upcoming young Han Solo movie.
