She did die on screen, she got blasted into spaceThey could've cut the bit where she comes back, and edited her out of the rest of the film.
Maybe shot some kind of memorial ceremony for at the end.
Luke could have just not died, then joined up with the rebels physically in episode 9.
I reckon that would all have been doable.

Silly Star Wars for not rewriting and reshooting 75% of the filmand throwing away Carrie Fisher's last role

they didn't kill Kevin Spacey's characters off though, just swapped his face.Killing Leia would have meant rewriting three quarters of the film, getting all the other actors back in (if they weren't off shooting other films already) reshooting, restarting the fx work and ditching Carrie Fishers last work.
I think they made the right choice, let JJ Abrams work out how to deal with it. It's only a kids film, just say she went back to wherever Mary Poppins comes from.

I think 75% is a bit of an exaggeration Barbarossa is not my real name,

And I think "a bit of" is a gross understatement.
