Break out the Jabba slave costumes.

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy in a role that defined the rest of her dramatic career, told a Florida publication that she'll appear in the next edition of Star Wars.
She was asked point-blank by the Palm Beach Illustrated if she would return to play Leia in the new "Star Wars: Episode VII."
"Yes," she said.
No word on whether Fisher was joking or not.
