6. Billie Lourd Playing Young Princess Leia In Star Wars: Episode VII?

Carrie Fisher As Princess Leia And Billie Lourd The extensive cast of JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII has already been revealed, but one name may have slipped between the cracks. Reports have come in that Carrie Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, will be making a trip to that galaxy far, far away, and may play a young Princess Leia. Apparently, the film calls for flashbacks of the character, and because of her likeness to her mother, Lourd will wrap her hair in Leia buns and play the iconic role. None of this is confirmed, of course, and it may not actually be true, but it would be cool to see some of the gaps between episodes VI and VII filled in.
