"Star Wars Episode VII" Spoilers are more uncommon than a storm trooper actually hitting a member of the rebel alliance. Original cast Carrie Fisher, however, revealed that she would have wanted to play Han Solo as she likened the secrecy surrounding the film to D-Day.

"I would rather have played Han Solo (Harrison Ford). When I first read the script I thought that's the part to be, always wry and sardonic. He's always that," she toldThe Guardian. I feel like a lot of the time Leia's either worried or pissed or, thank God, sort of snarky. But I'm much more worried and pissed than Han Solo ever was, and those aren't fun things to play."

After the "Star Wars" franchise, the career paths of Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford took off in different directions. While Harrison Ford went on to become one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, Carrie Fisher struggled with drug addiction and plays forgettable roles until she found her calling as a bestseller author.

Carrie Fisher admitted to MailOnline in 2010 that she did so much cocaine in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" set that even the late John Belushi-who died of drug overdose in 1982-told her she had a problem.

Does she have any "Star Wars Episode VII" spoilers to share?

"I have to censor myself, which is not an impulse of mine," she told the Telegraph."It's literally like D-Day. If the Nazis find out we're coming...! But I understand. There is just this insane interest. People grew up with these characters, so it's their childhoods."

Carrie Fisher did however offer one Easter egg, which fans eager for "Star Wars VII" spoilers should take and run with: "I'm fighting for the buns, but that's always what I'm doing. I think they should make an appearance if I just walked by a rocket window, and I was in buns."
