As the world braces itself for the next Disney-powered adventures in the Star Wars universe, fans new and old are holding their breath for any information regarding its connections to the trilogy of yesteryear.

The latest from Princess Leia herself, Carrie Fisher, who confirmed that she will be reprising her role as the iconic ass-kicking Alderaanian in the new instalments. It went down in an interview with Palm Beach Illustrated:

PBI: Disney is going to continue the Star Wars saga, producing movies set to hit theaters starting in 2015. Can you confirm whether you’ll reprise the role of Princess Leia?

CF: Yes.

PBI: What do you think Princess Leia is like today?

CF: Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home [laughs].

Although none of this has been officially confirmed by Disney or LucasFilm, the actress’ straightforward answer makes it seem very likely.
