Exactly! It would've had more emotional weight to it, instead of being a cheap shot like it was. If you're going to kill off someone beloved, at least make it truly count! And that actor was just... ugh!
It was such a Whedon-esque thing to do. (Are we sure he wasn't involved somehow?) Let's get all the old fans all excited and wibbly and nostalgic and then... BAM! And don't even give them emotional closure by having any sort of reaction from Leia. Except for hugging some girl she doesn't even know. And no, I don't care who she will be revealed to be later!
