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 she€™d be played by Carrie Fisher€™s 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 didn€™t take long to kill this report though, as someone went directly to Lourd about it. Her reply? €œThat€™s a lie. I wish I was playing a young Princess Leia. Disney, I€™m available!€ So that's that.
