‘The original Star Wars trilogy’ could mean two things: the three films that comprise it, or the central trio of characters the story revolves around – Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Going by comments the latter has made to TV Guide, those three actors look like they will be reprising their roles in J.J. Abrams’ (Star Trek) next installment in the science fiction franchise, Episode VII.
Fisher revealed in the interview that she will begin filming with Hamill and Ford in March or April, and that she would love to wear Princess Leia’s trademark Cinnamon buns…
“I’d like to wear my old hairstyle again – but with white hair. I think that would be funny.”
…what about the gold bikini?
Abrams and his team have not officially announced the original cast’s involvement, so this isn’t 100% confirmed. But Fisher as the source, it seems more reliable than a few of the other casting rumours that have been floating about as of late *cough* Judi Dench *cough*.
What do you think about the original trio’s potential return to the Star Wars franchise? Let us know in the comments section below…
Star Wars: Episode VII is set for release on December 18th, 2015.
