I thought there was quite a lot of fake outs in the film, where you think someone is dead but, surprise, they recover.

I thought Leia was gonna die at multiple points, I was spoiler-free so I wondered if they'd do clever things with existing footage, stand ins, and CGI to turn a scene into a death scene for her. At first I thought she'd never wake up from the space freeze, then I thought she'd stay behind ... I never thought she'd die on the shuttle, as Poe and Threepio were there.

Thinking of Empire, I wondered if her being in spacesleep would be like a reflection of Han's carbonite, originally to be awoken in the next movie ...
