Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 9 “Spoilers” We Already Know Are Lies
8. There Will Be A Flashback Featuring A Young Princess Leia
Leia's role in the story is still a little unclear, though she now goes by General instead of Princess. One rumour that got passed around as fact for a while was that the character would be featured in an important flashback scene during the film, where shed be played by Carrie Fishers real life daughter Billie Lourd. Lourd whose role in the film has yet to be announced - was said to have been spotted filming scenes with her hair tied up in the famous Princess Leia-style buns. It didnt take long to kill this report though, as someone went directly to Lourd about it. Her reply? Thats a lie. I wish I was playing a young Princess Leia. Disney, Im available! So that's that.
