Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, who played two of 'Star Wars' best-loved characters- Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, have been told to lose weight for the new Star Wars film.

The pair has allegedly been told to slim down before the film begins later this year if they are to resemble their original characters, the Daily Express reported.

A source told the Sun that the duo needs to be as close to their appearance in the earlier movies as possible.

According to the publication, the pair has been assigned nutritionists and personal trainers to work with them ahead of the production.

The source added that producers are keen to help out and have offered support as the budget of the film is huge so there will be no expense spared.
