"The most breathtaking moment in the new trailer for “Star Wars: The
Force Awakens” doesn’t involve explosions or lightsabers or ominous
references to the Dark Side. It’s an eyeblink-long shot of Princess Leia
herself, Carrie Fisher, in the embrace of Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. It’s
a moment of a weary-looking woman with graying hair and lines on her
face. Holy science fiction, Hollywood — somewhere, in a galaxy far, far
away, a grown woman has been given permission to look like a grown
woman. I want to go to that planet!"

Yes, good to see Fisher returning as Leia!  Via Irreverent Monk.

Share and enjoy,
