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." But of course, still wearing "the bagel buns and the bikini," Fisher says, "because probably she has sundowners syndrome. At sundown, she thinks that she’s 20-something. And she puts it on and gets institutionalized." (More Carrie Fisher stories.)
