When Carrie Fisher was cast as Princess Leia in 1976, the reason was simple -- she could be hired for almost nothing.

Carrie Fisher is being cast as Princess Leia in 2013 for the same reason -- she can be hired for almost nothing.

Nevertheless, I think a lot of people will see her casting as a perfect choice -- I certainly will.

I also heard that Harrison Ford is going to be coming back too, I'm not sure if I should be excited or afraid. I just don't want to be disappointed.
