10 Movie & TV Spoilers We Didn't Know Last Week (22nd June)

10. Those Really Were Princess Leia's Hands In The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser

When the second teaser trailer for upcoming sequel Star Wars: The Force Awakens first hit, there was one particular moment that diehard fans pondered over, in which somebody - a female character, by the looks of things - took a famous lightsaber into their hands. Due to the timing of the voiceover ("...my sister had it..."), it was speculated that said hands belonged to that of Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and a recent costume spoiler seems to confirm this theory. That's to say, a recent leak of photographs of Carrie Fisher in her Force Awakens costume seems to match up to the costume in the trailer, which means that Princess Leia could very well find herself wielding the iconic weapon come December.
