Carrie Fisher In 'Star War' With Play Producer

Carrie Fisher has battled booze, pills and Darth Vader.

And now, she's at war with the producer of her hit Broadway show, "Wishful Drinking," The Post has learned.

The feud, which could end up in court, is over control of the rights to Fisher's autobiographical one-woman show, which recently ended a critically acclaimed run at Studio 54. Because it was a hit in New York, "Wishful Drinking" is in demand around the world, potentially bringing in a few million dollars.

Fisher, who wrote and performed the play, claims that because her producer, Jonathan Reinis, failed to fulfill certain contractual obligations during the New York run, "all the rights revert back to me."

She also claims Reinis owes her more than $60,000 from the Studio 54 engagement.

"As you can imagine, Jonny seems to be a bit cranky, which I figure is why he still hasn't paid me the remaining money he owes me," she told The Post in an e-mail.

Your title is all shouty. :(

I've heard her show is really good. If she ever brings it to Philadelphia, I'll definitely be in line for tickets.
