She's not your princess, man!
Leia's been promoted to "General" in the new film, and she's all business. According to director JJ Abrams, "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."
Fisher also dropped a little knowledge of her own about Leia's role in the film, saying the character is "under a lot of pressure. Committed as ever to her cause, but I would imagine feeling somewhat defeated, tired, and pissed."
