Carrie Fisher, 'Star Wars Episode 7' [VIDEO]: Actress Needs to Get 'In Really Good Shape' for Princess Leia Role Reprisal, Is This a Spoiler?

Carrie Fisher dropped jaws in the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi when she appeared on screen in a metal bikini while held captive by Jabba the Hut. With the new Star Wars: Episode VII film starting to shoot soon and the 56-year-old actress admitting that she has to get in shape for her reprisal of Princess Leia, are we going to see Carrie Fisher in another skimpy outfit? That is the rumor anyway. All we know now is that Fisher admits that the producers have hired a trainer for the actress.

Over the last few years, Fisher has mainly stuck to writing and has even sought treatment for bipolar disorder, so the Star Wars VII news was very welcome in her mind. Like Harrison Ford, Fisher has shown interest in signing on to be in the film.

"I'm glad they are doing a new movie because they are sending a trainer to my house so I can get in really good shape,' she said. 'So I'm really eating a lot of sugar in advance, as you can see. By the time I really get down to it I will have eaten everything."

Talking about reprising her role, Fisher joked about Leia being "elderly" and in an old-folks home. "I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle," she said. She even jokes about putting the metal bikini back on!

No official casting announcements have been made, but having the original cast would be a great move.

Back in February, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill said:

"They're talking to us ... George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts - they would write us out ... I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts."

Besides working out and preparing for the seventh installment of Star Wars, Fisher has other projects she is busy with. She said:

"I've outlined another book to write. I'm writing a series with a friend of mine for another friend of mine. And I'm working somewhat on a musical. ... We were going to make a musical of Postcards from the Edge, and now we're not. What we're working on now are the songs. I have a lot of lyrics from many, thousands of years ago-and the intervening years-because I have a kind of obsessive-compulsive need to make things rhyme."
