Palm Beach Illustrated recently published a new interview with Carrie Fisher, in which the actress confirms she will return to her iconic role as Princess Leia for Star Wars: Episode VII.

When asked by the magazine if she could confirm her return, Fisher simply answered “Yes.”

The announcement of Fisher’s return comes amidst speculation that Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford will both be returning to their roles as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo for the film.

When asked what Leia would be like today, Fisher replied:  Elderly. She’s in an intergalactic old folks’ home [laughs]. I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.”

The magazine followed up with a question about Leia’s classic twin buns hairdo and slave girl outfit, Fisher jokingly said the character likely still wears them “because probably she has sundowners syndrome. At sundown, she thinks that she’s 20-something. And she puts it on and gets institutionalized.”
