"We all look a little melted"

Carrie Fisher has been talking about reprising her most famous role in Star Wars: Episode VII and admits that she and her original co-stars "all look a little melted".

As for Leia's distinctive look, Fisher revealed that she wants the Chelsea buns back. "That hairdo can never really be repeated without gales of laughter," she says.

"I've begged them to put the hair back on in grey and just catch me cooking with the hair, like Granny Leia."

As if you needed reminding, JJ Abrams is currently hard at work on Episode VII , last seen shooting in Abu Dhabi, which is doubling for Tatooine.

Star Wars: Episode VII blasts into cinemas on 18 December 2015.
