‘Star Wars’ Cast Shares Sweet Stories About the Late Carrie Fisher
Beloved actress Carrie Fisher, who passed away in 2016, was best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise. Having worked on so many of the films with the same cast and crew, there are tons of stories from their time together over the years. Many of her former castmates have only had great things to say about the late star and have shared some heartwarming and funny moments they had with her on the set of the films.
Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo in the franchise, once revealed that he got drunk with Fisher and the Rolling Stones! While they were filming The Empire Strikes Back, Fisher rented actor Eric Idle‘s house to be close to the set. He was still close by and invited The Rolling Stones over to party and Fisher and Ford joined them. They got so drunk that when they had to film the next morning, they were still tipsy and filmed the arrival to Cloud City feeling pretty cloudy.

John Boyega, who plays Finn in The Last Jedi, said that he was on a very strict diet while filming. Naturally, it was tough to maintain and Fisher helped him cheat on his clean eating diet! He said that he was sick of eating chicken breasts and salad and went to her trailer to complain. She offered him a fridge full of junk food and joked, “I was waiting for you to fail!”

Mark Hamill played her brother Luke Skywalker in the movies but that doesn’t mean they acted like siblings in real life! Hamill admitted that they even made out once after debating who was the better kisser. He said, “Cut to us making out on the couch like a couple of horny teenagers. I thought we dodged a bullet there because we had the fun without the responsibility.” He also shared that he loved to make her laugh and would even walk around wearing her floral robe just to garner some giggles.

Peter Mayhew, best known for playing Chewbacca recalled a hot day on the set when Fisher found some squirt guns and started shooting everyone with water. Lastly, Warwick Davis, who was just a child when he played the Ewok Wicket said that Fisher always looked out for him during filming. He said that she always checked in on him and would even get chocolate milk and cookies for him after a long day of filming.
