"could receive $50 million thanks to an insurance policy the company took out in the event Fisher was unable to fulfill her three-film contract"

Oh My Gosh, I don't know why I am chuckling right now.

I am sadden by Carrie's Death.

Maybe because this story is totally unsurprising and expected.

Wow

But, it was a natural, wasn’t it? Not and accident?
Or, does that matter?

Any bets on whether the insurance company claims that Disney left off some material fact on the policy and tries to void it or negotiate a smaller payout?

When talking about a franchise that’s generating billions of dollars for Disney, describing a $50 million payout as a windfall is an overstatement, (and slightly offensive).

Rick Peck: They're going to kill him!

Les Grossman: And we'll weep for him... in the press, set up a scholarship in his name. Eventually - and I'm talkin' way, way down the road - we file an insurance claim.

Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Preferably before the end of the fiscal year. Actually, the claim alone would net us more than the movie would lose.

Who at Disney told her to lose weight for the Star Wars movie?
I bet she took diet pills to lose the weight. Disney gets $50 million for that decision.
