Generally negative but ok in moderation.

Legolas in the Hobbit was jarring.

It has never bothered me so far, but I really hope it doesn't get abused.

Well, if they create the actor for an entire movie. Only using it for a couple scenes is ok in my book.

Extremely negative for re-creating dead actors. Ambivalent for living ones.

FF, if done right.  For instance, consider that Tower of Joy fighting scene.  I would have much preferred if we had a younger version of Sean Bean (like how he appeared in Sharpe's Rifles more than twenty years ago) as the young Ned Stark:



Or as he appeared in that one episode in the acclaimed Inspector Morse series:

Then who do you think should take Carrie Fisher's place as Princess Leia in Episode IX?

Write her out of the story.

Don't care. It's an extremely bad precedent.

Bad if they're dead ala Peter Cushing.  Carrie Fisher was ok, but now that she's dead they need to write her out of the story.

HD unless the actor dies midway through production and the story demands it [ala Gladiator].

I agree with this basically, and voted HD.

Also, I would be okay with it if the entire movie is CGI a la Beowulf or Final Fantasy or something.

Apparently Carrie Fisher is not going to be digitally recreated for the last movie of the Star Wars sequel:
