CLASSIC IMAGE: A PRINCESS AND HER WOOKIEE!


There's nothing nicer than discovering Classic STAR WARS Trilogy photos that you've never seen before suddenly appearing online, especially during normally scarce times between newly released pictures from mammoth LUCASFILM projects like J.W. Rinzler's Making of books and the now seemingly dry well that was OFFICIALPIX. These lovely studio session outtake images of Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew during the filming of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in London in 1979 show the duo having a great time together in between posing seriously as Princess Leia and Chewbacca the Wookiee, something nice to see in the face of all the filming, budgetary difficulties and pressures of making that all-important first STAR WARS sequel.
