With consent from the late, great Carrie Fisher's family, J. J. Abrams and co. were able to use unused footage from Episode VII - The Force Awakens to bring Leia Organa's story to an emotional end in Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. 

Considering the circumstances, the team did a pretty impressive job when it came to keeping Leia involved in the action set in the present day.

However, the same could not be said for her flashback appearance in the film.

During a moment which showed Leia training with her brother Luke many years earlier, younger versions of both Mark Hamill and Fisher eventually revealed their faces from underneath their blaster helmets.

While Hamill's younger mug actually looked quite convincing as it was lit up by his green lightsaber at night, Fisher's face sadly wandered into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story territory again.

Despite using dailies from Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and Fisher's own daughter Billie Lourd as a stand-in body double (via Vanity Fair), there was still no getting away from the fact Leia's CG face looked like it belonged in a Star Wars video game here.
