(AP Photo/20th Century-Fox Film Corporation, File) Excellent news, Star Wars fans: Princess Leia will live to see another day. In a recent interview with Palm Beach Illustrated, Carrie Fisher confirms that she will reprise the iconic role in the new films coming from Disney. Fisher pictures Leia as "elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home," she jokes. "Slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle."

And she puts it on and gets institutionalized." Read These Next Analysis sees a historic shift underway in US capitalism. A child was reportedly among those shot dead in a Target parking lot.
