It's just been confirmed, Carrie Fisher WILL return as Princess Leia for JJ Abrams' Star Wars Episode 7. When asked by Palm Beach Illustrated, the actress and writer let the news slip.
When asked if she would be involved, she answered with a simple 'yes'. The publication asked Fisher (daughter of Debbie Reynolds) to share her thoughts on how a somewhat older Leia may be presented, to which she responded: "Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home... I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.
Miss Fisher who was recently hospitalised for Bipolar disorder went on to joke about how she'd be getting back into the famous outfit from previous outings: "The bagel buns and the bikini, because probably she has sundowners syndrome," said Fisher. "At sundown, she thinks that she's 20-something. And she puts it on and gets institutionalised."
Is this good news, Star Wars fans? Are you hoping to see her back in the buns and bikini?
