‘I have managed to separate my personal life well from my professional life, partly probably because I’m not on social media.
The statistics that link them (social media sites) to anxiety are terrifying. I have friends completely addicted to their phone who have suffered with this problem.
I don’t want to go back, but sometimes I think about it. But the truth is that no, I won’t be returning.’
Her intent to stay clear is well founded, after the tumultuous time she and her co-stars have had on social media. Sad, that the star of the latest trilogy once so available and willing to engaging with her fans, was virtually chased off various platforms.

He is the EiC and Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and currently contributes to ILM.com, SkywalkerSound.com, Star Wars – Das Offizielle Magazin, Journal of the Whills and Starburst Magazine, having previously contributed to magazines Star Wars Insider, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia, Model and Collectors Mart, partworks Build Darth Vader, Star Wars Encyclopedia, and Build The Millennium Falcon, and websites Jedi.net, Jedi News, StarWars.com, Lightsabre.co.uk, and Wirezone.
