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."

It said Snow White when I quoted it - you must have changed it before I hit the reply. It's okay, I fixed it so everyone knows what you ORIGINALLY said. Harhar

I actually changed it twice. I had it wrong intentionally. fixed it to be right. changed it to be wrong again. based on the usual confusion of of people mixing up SW and SB.

Actually they tend to mix up Maleficent with the evil queen. I don't think anyone gets the princesses confused, that I can recall.

That is disgraceful. It reminds me of my childhood when I would watch Voltron battle the evil Decepticons

To be quite frank I DONT KNOW WHY SHE WANTS ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT STAR WARS HAS BECOME .. UTTER TRASH!!!!!!!

Everything that was PURE and GOOD about what made that 3 part movie SUPER was ruined!! (Why anyone on the original cast is still there IS QUITE CONFUSING! -- Dont they care??)


All thier hard work TRASHED!!!!!!!! (I only recognise the original 3 UNEDITED movies)
