While promoting the film, the actress said that she had to lose more than 35lbs for the new film. This is almost 40 years after her first appearance as Princess Leia at the age of 19.

She revealed "They don't want to hire all of me - only about three-quarters! Nothing changes; it's an appearance-driven thing."
