Carrie Fisher was forced to lose 35 pounds before she could play Princess Leia again

What a cow....


Last month, Disney finally confirmed that Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher will reprise the roles of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. But in a recent interview with The Telegraph, Fisher revealed that her Episode VII offer came with a major caveat: losing 35 pounds before filming began.

"They always hire not entirely me; they always want me minus anywhere between 10 pounds and 30 pounds to 40 pounds," said Fisher. "In this case I've been very cooperative. If I could've been as cooperative as I am in this situation in relationships, I'd be happily married. But I complied."

Yeah, you do! It's really a great series.


I was resistant to Jessie at first, and thought he was a little on the corny side, but he grew on me. I think he fits in with the group well, and by the end of the show, I came to really like him quite a bit. Smilie
yeah...he did grow on me too as things progressed after his story arc was pretty much wrapped up.

After checking hulu+ I got up to season 6 ep5. So I'll have to either buy the season or watch them through various free means.

I'm pretty sure the entire series is on Netflix now. The show wrapped up last fall.

OMG, who has hulu but not netflix?! Netflix is way better. Hulu is pissing me off lately. Slowly seeping in more commercials to everything, like we won't notice. Ranting

best way to ruin a movie for someone. Now she'll have the highest of expectations which will never be met.

I didn't say she had to see it because it was GOOD. Seriously though, no one in the world could oversell star wars. Harhar


I don't know how someone grows up without seeing it, though! Ewoks are freakin' adorable! They remind us of our teddies. Happy
