I think that rumour was confirmed. Carrie Fisher's daughter will star in the film as the young Leia Organa. Most likely as a hologram. By the way, what do you think about Leia learning how to use the Force? I'd like to see her use the force even in an emotional state say, if Hans Solo was trapped, if he was caught underneath a collapsing cave- she could move a large rock to free him. For example. Let us for a minute, accept the rumour, that Luke has to be calmed down because he's loosing his mind, could Leia have a role in this?? Until we see the film, or anything that truly reveals the plot, we can only speculate, @NumberWan. Nothing is obvious.. as an example; ....what is Sidious never died?
