The 56-year-old actress and her co-stars Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill were each approached by the sci-fi films' creator George Lucas and the franchise's new bosses at Disney and asked to be a part of 'Star Wars VII'.
Fisher said that she is onboard the next film, which will be directed by JJ Abrams, reported The Telegraph.
