Little information about the plot has been released and the cast have seemingly been sworn to secrecy. In a recent interview Carrie Fisher, alongside her mother Debbie Reynolds, warned her loose lipped mother Fisher would “get in trouble” for discussing Star Wars Episode VII. Reynolds largely ignored her daughter and revealed Fisher had lost more than 35 pounds (2.5 stone) for the role, at the request of the film’s producers.

The full note reads:

‘Dearest Cast and Crew, What an honour it is, to work beside all of you, on Star Wars Ep. VII. I can’t thank you enough, for all the work past and future. Let’s take good care of, not just ourselves, but each other. Amazing but true: the world awaits this film. Let’s give ‘em something great! J.J.’
