Press Release
The original princess with an attitude, Carrie Fisher, is slated to appear at Celebration Europe this July 26-28 in Essen. Princess Leia Organa in the original Star Wars trilogy, Fisher will be greeting fans and signing autographs in the Celebration Autograph Hall organized by Official Pix, and is scheduled to appear on stage for an interview and a question and answer session.
Rumors have been swirling all around about who will and won’t be reprising roles from the original Star Wars trilogy as J.J. Abrams continues the series on for Disney, but it appears that Carrie Fisher will be returning for the film.
Continuing the Star Wars theme for the back half of the week, I went digging for Princess Leia pictures. Man, you don’t want to do a search for serious Princess Leia art. Bondage Leia, Topless Leia, Naked For No Reason Leia, Leia Getting It On With (INSERT ALIEN/LIGHTSABER/JEDI NAME HERE), and the list goes on and on.
Fortunately, I found this piece by Mark Brooks that he did for the Dallas Comicon.
