Carrie Fisher says she'll be reprising Leia, according to an interview with Florida’s Palm Beach Illustrated. AP picked up the story earlier today. Other than that, no details to speak of.
This is a snakeskin jacket. And for me it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.

The latest from the AP:
NEW YORK (AP) — It appears the Force is still strong with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
In an interview posted online Thursday, George Lucas said the trio from the original “Star Wars” trilogy will reprise their iconic roles of Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia in the new “Star Wars” film.
Lucas told Bloomberg Businessweek that all three were signed for the new “Episode VII” film in advance of Lucasfilm’s $4 billion purchase by Disney.
“We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or were pretty much in the final stages of negotiation,” Lucas said.
He added: “Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do.”
In an interview posted Wednesday with Florida’s Palm Beach Illustrated, Fisher said that she’ll be coming back as Princess Leia.
Disney’s Lucasfilm was coy in response. In a statement, a spokesperson for the company said, “George couldn’t say whether they were signed or not and neither can we. As Yoda said, ‘Always in motion is the future.’ Stay tuned.”
The Walt Disney Co. is producing a new “Star Wars” trilogy to take place after Lucas’ original three space epics. J.J. Abrams is directing the first film. The 70-year-old Ford, the 61-year-old Hamill and the 56-year-old Fisher are expected to play smaller, supporting roles.
A representative for Ford declined to comment. Hamill’s representatives didn’t immediately return requests for comment.

From the kinda reliable IMDb:
Harrison Ford is the latest original Star Wars alumnus to acknowledge that he will be returning for the new sequels to be filmed and distributed by Disney. But like the other alumni — and George Lucas himself — the actor included a loophole in his remarks. “I think it’s almost true,” he told a TV interviewer in Chicago, where his latest film, 42, about legendary baseball great Jackie Robinson, was receiving its premiere. “I’m looking forward to it. … It’s not in the bag yet, but I think it’s happening and I’m delighted,” he added. The first sequel, to be directed by J.J. Abrams, is expected to premiere in 2015. According to some reports, it will focus on Ford’s character, Han Solo, with Ford serving as a “framing device.”
My question: Ford is playing Jackie Robinson? ;)

Can't be that limited, it's at the local multiplex here.
