(whoops, wrong franchise)It's a safe bet Leia will not be making a CGI'd appearance in Episode IX. Too soon, and too ghoulish.  The *fleet* didn't do much at all, other than explode. Isn't it Lando and Nien Nub (did I get that right?) in the Falcon that shoot out the 2nd Death Star's reactor? With one or two surviving escort fighters. And that feat was possible because of Han, Leia, Chewie, R2D2, and C3PO disabling the shield generator on the forrest moon, which in turn was made possible by Luke turning himself in to Vader. The point is Star Wars takes a heroic view of history. The Rebel victory at Endor depended entirely on the actions of small number of individuals, just like the victory at Yavin. A small group of heroes, who, coincidentally enough, would all fit in comfortable in the Millennium Falcon, end up saving the day. Fleet's come and go. Protagonists, on the other hand... Contrast this with something like Nolan's Dunkirk movie last year. While Dunkirk does highlight the heroic actions of individuals, those actions take place within the context of a massive collective effort to evacuate the Allied forces.</blockquote>
