Carrie Fisher Drops 35 Pounds for Star Wars Comeback: No, The 'Force' Has Nothing To Do With It

There's no doubt that Carrie Fisher still looks fantastic on her comeback as Princess Leia Organa on "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", 32 years after the last movie of the original trilogy premiered.

After the opening of the newest (and most successful) Star Wars installment, internet trolls mocked Fisher and commented that she is "too old" and not physically "fit" to comeback for the role. The 5'1" actress was a sex siren who just weighed 105 pounds back in the years. There was even a debate on whether Fisher "aged well" through the years.

Fisher, now 59, is returning as the awesome and kick-ass resistance general that everybody loved since 1977. She was only 21. 

Fisher answered age and body-shamers through her twitter account saying, "Please stop debating about whether or not I aged well,". She further confessed, "Unfortunately it hurts all 3 of my feelings. My BODY hasn't aged as well as I have. Blow us."

Reportedly, Fisher dropped 35 pounds- weighing from 180 pounds to 145 in only nine months. And no, the Force has nothing to do with it.

According to the Examiner, the professional actress strictly followed a 1,500 calorie meal plan and exercise: 45-minute cardio work outs, five days a week.

Fisher was outraged by the obsessive focus on her weight and appearance, saying youth and beauty are not accomplishments. She also criticized the way people set standards of beauty and likely appearance.

"We treat beauty like an accomplishment and that is insane," said Carrie. "Everyone in LA says, 'Oh you look good!' and you listen for them to say you've lost weight. It's never 'How are you?' or 'You seem happy!'"

Fisher returns to the world wide phenomenon "Star Wars" movies alongside Harrison Ford, who plays Han Solo and Mark Hamill, who acts as her brother Luke Skywalker, along with other supporting casts.
