Photo of Carrie Fisher, Stunt Double from “Return of the Jedi”

November 7, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: Cool Stuff

If you’re a “Star Wars” fan of a certain age, you may recall a certain scene in “Return of the Jedi” in which Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia wore a certain metal bikini.

Earlier this week, Kottke found this on-set image of the filming of the third installment in the original trilogy, showing Fisher and her stunt double catching some sun between takes.

We figured you might enjoy seeing it….

    Kind of reminds me of Dragon*Con. Muliple Leias all over the place.

    What was the stunt double for? Was there a stunt?

    Yes, there were stunts featuring bikini Leia in RoTJ. The battle at the Sarlac pit….

    Never got the attraction. Metal bikini notwithstanding, Leia was just not that good looking, with a personality to match, .

    Plus I never got why a slug would want a woman in a bikini at the end of a chain. But it sure seemed to fire up a lot of imaginations, and apparently it continues to do so.
