It's the good news the world deserves and it is all thanks to actor, writer and dog lover Carrie Fisher.
The artist, more commonly known as Princess Leia, has confirmed she had an "intense" affair with Harrison Ford on the set of Star Wars: A New Hope in 1976.

Fisher revealed the detail of "Carrison" in her new memoir The Princess Diarist.
For the book, the fifth by the New York Times bestselling author, she revisited her old journals from the late 1970s when she was 19 and met Ford, a 33-year-old married father of two, on the London set of the sci-fi film.
The three-month tryst began when Ford offered to drive a "wine sodden" Fisher home before they ended up in bed together.
She recounted their clumsy first intimate experience but forgave him as "he was really handsome" and she was a "bad kisser".
"I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind," she said.
Drawing a line at sharing any more sordid details on paper or in person, she later tweeted: "I would never talk about how someone was in any furniture - chair, bed, coffee table or otherwise."

She also can't remember some things relating to the romance and blamed the "brutal strength of Harrison's preferred strain of pot".
But she did have an ongoing fantasy, like most women at the time, that Ford would ask her to marry him, proposing with "a gold band with diamonds (inscribed) 'Carrison'," she wrote.
"It was so intense," Fisher told People during an interview to promote the book that will be available in Australia on November 28.
"It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend."
Fisher also chronicles her crippling self-doubt and low self esteem throughout the affair, which ended when filming wrapped and Ford returned to his first wife Mary Marquardt, before they divorced a few years later.
"I looked over at Harrison. A hero's face - a few strands of hair fell over his noble, slightly furrowed brow," she wrote. "How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me?"
She chalks the encounter up to being a "formative experience".
Ford received a draft copy of the book before publication and has not commented publicly on the relationship that was kept a secret for 40 years.
Ford and Fisher reprised their roles for last year's blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
