Original Star Wars actress, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) continues to leak snippets of information about Star Wars: Episode VII. In particular, Fisher revealed that she will be traveling to London to film Episode VII for 6 months, which she mentioned to Jim Jeffries, who later reitterated it during an appearnce he made on Sirius XM’s Opie and Anthony Show. Below is an excerpt from the show:
"She’s a funny lady, man. She’ll be smoking cigarettes outside and as soon as she gets inside, she’s straight on to the vapor. She’s had some fucking hard partying in her life, I tell ya….She said to me, she goes, “I’m going off to London for six months to film the new ‘Star Wars’ movie,” right? And I don’t think from looking at it, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie is a direct continuation. It’s number 7 but it’s not going to be the next day, I’ll tell you that much. Maybe she had the same problem the Emperor had, I don’t know."
So, we now know Fisher plans to spend 6 months in London filming J.J Abrams Star Wars: Episode VII, probably along with original castmates Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill as well. Rumors have suggested that Episode VII will focus primarily on Luke, Leia and Solo, while their children take the back seat for this film.
