Carrie Fisher Confirms Her Involvement With ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’

There’s been numerous rumors regarding Carrie Fisher returning for J.J. Abrams Star Wars: Episode VII, and the actress herself has even been asked about it on a number of occasions. However, she hasn’t really given a straight forward answer regarding the question. That was until now. In an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated the actress has finally confirmed her involvement with the next chapter in the Star Wars saga.

Q: Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you’ll reprise the role of Princess Leia?

 

A: Yes.

Pretty straight forward, right? The actress also revealed where she thinks Leia is going to be at these days:

“Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home [laughs]. I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.”

 

With Carrie Fisher signing on for the film it shouldn’t be too long until we get confirmation regarding Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford returning as well.

Star Wars: Episode VII is currently said to be hitting theaters in 2015, however no official release date has been set at the moment.
