Princess Leia Gets New Title – General
Updated : April 06, 2016 11:02 AM IST Leia Organa a.k.a Princess Leia will be getting a new title in the highly anticipated upcoming film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The character will be referred to as General this time around. Carrie Fisher will be reprising her role as the Alderaan native diplomat.
Carrie spoke about the character and said, “Solitary. Under a lot of pressure. Committed as ever to her cause, but I would imagine feeling somewhat defeated, tired, and pissed”. According to EW, director J.J. Abrams said, “She’s referred to as General. But … there’s a moment in the movie where a character sort of slips and calls her ‘Princess.’…The stakes are pretty high in the story for her, so there’s not much goofing around where Leia’s concerned, but it felt historic to have her, especially with Harrison, back in scenes together. I can only imagine the baggage that they bring to it, I’m just a fan who loves this stuff, but they’ve been living with it — and living in it — since ’77”.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be released on December 18. The movie will bring back iconic characters of the franchise like Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie. The plot will follow the events of Episode VI and takes place 30 years after the battle of Endor.
