The new Princess Leia?

I saw Maggie in "White House Down" recently and it struck me that she would be ideal casting for Princess Leia if there were to be any SW anthology films set between episodes 6 and 7. Does anybody agree?

She would be a good cast, not a bad observation

I'd prefer Shannon Woodward, not that Maggie would be a bad choice.

NO.

She isn't pretty enough, and I've never seen her bring anything like the warmth, sensuality, and sly wit that Carrie Fisher brought to the role.
