Carrie Fisher's Daugher Shoots Down Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rumor

There is a rumor floating online that Carrie Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd, will be playing a young Princess Leia in Star Wars: The Force Awakens – meaning a flashback scene would be featured in the movie (something I believe hasn’t happened in any of the Star Wars films).

Lourd recently addressed the rumor and stated it isn’t true, but did confirm she has a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

“That’s a lie. That’s a rumor,” Billie Lourd told ETOnline. “I wish I played a young princess. I can’t talk to you about the character, or the lack of character. I didn’t even say that. That was too much.”

Billie Lourd also stars on FOX’s upcoming Scream Queens.
