George Lucas Shakes Up The Episode VII Casting Rumors

Possibly contradicting what we heard yesterday, George Lucas has said that Carrie Fisher, along with Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, ARE in Episode VII. In an article on Business Week we have:

Asked whether members of the original Star Wars cast will appear in Episode VII and if he called them before the deal closed to keep them informed, Lucas says, “We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison—or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on.’ ” He pauses. “Maybe I’m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them.” Then he adds: “I won’t say whether the negotiations were successful or not.”
