Damn right I wanna’ be in the new “Star Wars”
The upcoming Disney-owned “Star Wars” movie will star a much older Princess Leia … at least if Carrie Fisher gets her way — because the actress tells TMZ, she’d love to star in the next installment.
Carrie was at LAX yesterday when we asked if she’d accept a role in “Episode 7″ — currently in development at Disney — and she said, “Yes. Sure. Wouldn’t you?”

Gee, you almost wish the three of them would play coy for a while and give us a little suspense.

Who will be on the end of her rope wearing the gold bikini?

Has Michelle Obama been approached for a role yet?

Trust me on this, no one wants to see a fat Leia, a fat Luke or a old wrinkly Han.

No comment, the Eye is all-seeing.

No no, this works. Some of Jabba’s dna got sort of mixed up with hers…somehow…and then, you know, space, gamma rays, all that.

Finally someone who lays out decent bait.

He meant as Lando’s new…gal.
TexasDan on November 7, 2012 at 10:32 PM
Isn’t she like…old and wrinkly now?

Because watching an old Indy Jones worked out so well…
Just when you think the Star Wars brand couldn’t get even more diluted, it’s now become an undetectable mist.

The one good thing is all the material RedLetterMedia will get from this.
Dongemaharu on November 7, 2012 at 10:39 PM
CGI can solve that.
See: “Avatar”.
James Cameron managed to make Democrat eco-freaks look like blue skinned monkeys AND give them Absolute Moral Authority.
Better living through technology.

Didn’t work for Indiana Jones in the Crystal Skull movie.
sharrukin on November 7, 2012 at 10:44 PM
It worked for Joy Behar in “Ghost Busters”. Seriously, even without the beret would you have known it was her?
Bishop on November 7, 2012 at 10:47 PM
Was she the one munching on hot dogs coming out of the vendors cart?

Another one to file under “What could go wrong?”
I can see the opening title crawl now:
It is a period of geriatric war. AARP spaceships, striking from a hidden bingo parlor, have won their first victory again the evil Pharmaceutical Empire. During the battle, AARP spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the RENEWABLE PATENT, an invincible profit machine with enough power to overcharge an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia waddles home aboard her wheelchair, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her generation and restore reasonably-priced prescription-strength laxatives to the galaxy . . .

No Carrie… just no… that goes for Harrison and Mark as well…
Not just no, but hell no.

Harrison Ford: “Sure, I’d do it.”
Translation: “Easy money.”
Mark Hamill: “I’d love to.”
Translation: “I need the money.”
Carrie Fisher: “Yes, sure, wouldn’t you?”
Translation: “I smell money.”
Splashman on November 7, 2012 at 11:44 PM
lol…yeah of course you want to be in a new star wars movie you crazy liberal has been actor
sadsushi on November 8, 2012 at 12:13 AM
Disney? They might let serve coffee.
Too old. Not pretty.
Moesart on November 8, 2012 at 12:20 AM
Don’t be silly. Disney smells money, too. They know that if Ford, Hamill & Fisher are in Ep7, a zillion fans from the 70′s and 80′s will go see it just to see the train wreck for themselves.
Myself, I’m currently using Clorox on my brain, trying to erase the image of the current Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini.
Splashman on November 8, 2012 at 12:33 AM
I hear they offered Christie the Jabba the Hutt part without an audition, Figuring they could save money on costuming or makeup.
LegendHasIt on November 8, 2012 at 12:50 AM
Nope. They stipulated Christie had to lose 20 pounds for the part, and he backed out.
Splashman on November 8, 2012 at 1:12 AM
And he got audiences cheering the deaths of American servicemen. It was an enemy propaganda film pure and simple.
