Seriously, either write Leia out of the movie or recast her. I'd much rather watch a replacement actress for the rest of the bounce off, than watch deleted scenes edited for a completely context.

I mean how are they even going to make the dialouge work? Is it going to be like this?

Kylo Ren: Mother! We meet again, now after I have killed Snoke.
Leia: Ben.
Kylo Ren: Please, you can still join me. I need an advisor as the Supreme Leader, since I have inherited that role.
Leia: No.
Kylo Ren: You have to understand, I am the only one who can restore peace to the Galaxy. Do really think the resistance can overthrow me?
Leia: Yes.
Kylo Ren: It didn't work the last time, you were in the rebellion and a new Empire still arose. Don't you agree it's a better idea to rule the benevolently from within the first order?
Leia: No.
Kylo Ren: Then if you will not do it for the Galaxy, will you at least do it for your son? Don't you still love?
Leia: Yes.
Kylo Ren: Then won't you join me?
Leia: No.

There's no way I'm seeing this turn out well.

Hahaha... yeah, exactly. They should have just recasted.

I think they'll find a way to repurpose the deleted scene of Leia addressing the New Republic from TFA. Then snippets of her looking deep in thought at various times.
