First plot details:
That bit about Rey and Luke just sounds like a revamp of the Luke/Yoda training bit from the OT. Hopefully, I am wrong though, and they take it in a fresh direction. I enjoyed TFA, but it did heavily retread things we have already seen.

I think problem was TFA pretty much set up an ESB type story for Ep.8.
Regardless can't wait to see Luke again. He will be the ultimate combination of Ben and Yoda, and he will save Episode 8.

Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher for Episode 9

Nah. They still have a ways to go on improving the effects and technology for CG'ing such characters as mentioned, and after R1 I feel I couldn't be further from right to not want to see a CG Leia in episode 9.
On close inspection you can tell he's CGI, but who cares? Jar Jar and Watto looked like cartoons when TPM first came out (think those effects have improved a little on blu-ray), but people generally still get wowed by breakthrough special effects.
Heck the CGI characters still clearly looked CGI in Avatar, but again people were wowed.
That's not the issue. The issue is, a whole film of her old self as CGI just 2-3 years after she passed would seem distasteful. If however it was just 1 or 2 scenes added to Ep. 8 to finish her story off (like they did with Paul Walker). The latter no one would have any issues with IMO.
Originally posted by Ridley_PrimeD. Thor thinks the cgi from rogue one was amazing and that the lowered budgeted special effects of Rogue One were superior to TFA. Kid is a fanboy and hates TFA.
Probably for the best. Regardless of what R1 superfans say, Leia and even more-so Tarkin were pretty jarring as such.
