npr:nprfreshair:Carrie Fisher Opens Up Her ‘Star Wars’ Journal: ‘I Think I Do Overshare' Carrie Fisher told Terry Gross about filming the famous Jabba the Huttscene with the iconic gold bikini in Returnof the Jedi:“Whatmy joke was when we first rehearsed it, they’re brought in front of Jabba, theytalk to Jabba, Jabba talks to Harrison and Mark, and then they’re led off. Theynever say, ‘Hey! How are you?’ So as they were being led off I said, in therehearsal, ‘Don’t worry about me! I’ll be fine! Seriously!’ Which I thoughtthey should’ve kept in there. It was like, ‘Where am I in all of this?’ Sure, they were going to be digested for 2,000 years, but I have to stay with theslug with the big tongue! Nearly naked! Which is not a style choice for me. …It wasn’t my choice. When [George Lucas] showed me the outfit I thought he was kidding, andit made me very nervous. I had to sit very straight because I couldn’t havelines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had tosit very, very rigid straight. … What redeems it is I get to kill him, whichwas so enjoyable. … I sawed his neck off with that chain that I killed himwith, I really relished that because I hated wearing that outfit and sittingthere rigid straight, and I couldn’t wait to kill him.” There is so much more in this interview! -Emily -- source link
