A representative for actress Carrie Fisher revealed today that her confirmation for Star Wars: Episode VII yesterday was merely a joke. Here's what the rep had to say.

"She was joking. Nothing has been announced."

That being said, it stands to reason that Carrie Fisher's other statement yesterday about her Princess Leia character being in an "intergalactic old folks' home" was also a "joke."

"Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home [laughs]. I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle."

The actress revealed in November, just a week after Disney bought LucasFilm for $4 billion, that she was interested in returning. Last month, Mark Hamill revealed that he was coming back for Star Wars: Episode VII as Luke Skywalker, along with Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Carrie Fisher. One of these days we'll get a straight answer from someone as to who is and is not returning for director J.J. Abrams' highly-anticipated sequel.
