After months -- actually, years -- of speculation, rumors, and updates, the shooting of "Star Wars Episode 7" is finally upon us, and despite his promises that he will be more "forthcoming" with the news, director JJ Abrams is remaining frustratingly tight-lipped about the much-anticipated project, which is scheduled for release in December 2015.

In case you were wondering if you can count on Carrie Fisher -- who played Princess Leia in the original "Star Wars" trilogy -- to appear in the new "Star Wars Episode 7," you can rest easy knowing that not only is she confirmed for the much-anticipated sequel in the "Star Wars" saga, but her role is much bigger than originally thought!
It will, literally, be the role of his lifetime...if it turns out to be true, of course.
