Carrie Fisher, had an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, and of course, they couldn’t resist asking if she would reprise her role as Princess Leia for, “Star Wars 7”. She replied back with a simple, “Yes”. That was it. So Entertainment Weekly, contacted Lucasfilm themselves, and the folks at Lucasfilm said that they haven’t even started casting yet. I expect the casting to start pretty soon, though.

I don’t know how they are going to pull off Princess Leia in the new, Star Wars. Carrie Fisher used to be beautiful and gorgeous in her younger years, but now look at her. Carrie looks way different today. I’m sure she still has what it takes to play Princess Leia just fine, but she may look a little bit different. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me that Lucasfilm will try to make Carrie look younger and beautiful with the power of make up effects, and computerized air brushing. They can easily make her the beautiful Princess still, but she will be a little older.

Will Leia be married to Han Solo and they have a few kids together? Luke will mentor those kids and train them to be Jedi’s? I’m sure that’s the plot they’re going for, but I hope they’ll have  more of a story than that, honestly, I think mentors training the younger generations in fictional movies is getting old. They already have the same idea with, Ghostbusters 3.
