LOS ANGELES: The first “Star Wars” installment in a decade has largely been met with jubilation, not least because Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have reprised their classic roles as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess — ahem, General — Leia. Yet some longtime fans were stuck on a detail that shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone:
The actors have aged.
Or, to zone in on the preoccupation, Fisher has aged — and allegedly “not well.”
Not to mention, the latest iteration of Princess Leia is ostensibly no less formidable than the character that fans remember. She commands an entire resistance movement, after all, and manages to do so while remaining devoted to her family.
Yet, discussion of Fisher’s weight has abated little since “The Force Awakens” premiered earlier this month. The actress shot back at her critics on Tuesday:
“Please stop debating about whetherOR not (I’ve) aged well.unfortunately it hurts all of my feelings.My BODY hasnt aged as well as I have...”
She also retweeted comments from supporters, including one who said, “Men don’t age better than women, they’re just allowed to age.”
