Princess Leia Was High During Star Wars

[TheTurtleMan]

You see, cocaine makes everything better! No wonder the prequels weren't as good, the new cast was all sobered up.

 

[GBlair88]

I think Lucas was high when he wrote those prequels, maybe he picked it up from her.

Maybe he's her dealer. Or was her dealer.

What!?!?

Princess Leia was a druggie?!

You didn't know? Many have none for awhile that the actor was a big drug abuser and still has some problems mentally now.

I had no idea!

This is almost as shocking as finding out George Carlin was doing a lot of blow on the first SNL. Seriously, tell me when the Ewoks were taking rolls in the snow and then I'll generate some excitement.

yea i thought everyone already knew this. i mean look at her performance in the star wars holiday special (ya know, before the cut off your ears and gouge out your eyes to escape the evil of it). you can tell shes coked up

 

[spuddaemon]

Wait, this is news?

A little... make that "very" dated news.

This pic isn't even from Empire...

she has more than some mental problems. i saw an interview where she talks about how much she enjoys shock therapy

Old news

Welcome to 1985, bub... TV ran this story in response to fans concerns after The Empire Strikes Back.

I guess, base on the responses, a lot of people didn't know about this.

I love the general response - "Wasn't everyone in the 70's high?"

 

[Sacman]

I thought they all were... that's why we haven't been able to get a good performance out of Harrison Ford since Blade Runner...

 

[Devil's Due]

What!?!?

I'm surprised as well. I have lost all faith in the actress and refuse to watch ESB now with all those druggies. No way, no how.

"We did cocaine on the set of Empire, in the ice planet,"
Really?............like...the entire cast?...........literally on the set?

My first thought upon reading this was "....Hoth? Really? You're going to chop up lines of white powder on the actual set of an ice planet?

Talk about putting something down and then being unable to find it again. What a waste of an admittedly rather boring drug...

 

[SonicWaffle]

Besides, didn't the guy who wrote Sherlock Holmes have an opium problem? And I know for a fact that poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was high on opium when he wrote the poem Kublah Khan.

Sherlock Holmes (the character) used to inject himself with cocaine. Difference being, it wasn't actually illegal at the time and may have even been medically recommended. Not sure about Conan-Doyle, but I do know that Shakespeare used to keep a bag of opium in his desk drawer at all times. Fucking Shakespeare!

And written when the band were high on crazy Native American shaman juice.

You could probably have phrased that better

I thought they all were... that's why we haven't been able to get a good performance out of Harrison Ford since Blade Runner...

I dunno, I think he did reasonably well at pretending that Calista Flockhart is actually a human being...

 

[DTWolfwood]

so can we blame coke for her type casting? XD

 

[tendo82]

She must have been a raging drug addict. Consider that she is 53 years old. She looks like she's at least 65. Other stars who are in their fifties: Kim Bassinger, Angela Basset, Michelle Pfieffer. Granted those people are best in class, but Fisher must have been shooting heroin into her eyeballs and mainlining IV bags of Jack Daniels.

 

[solidstatemind]

Go read her books. Very good, and go into great detail about her battles with addiction.

But yeah, this isn't news to anyone who isn't a completely self-blinded fanboi of SW.

he probably got hot for aliens after starwars

"While juice boxes and donuts were likely the most dangerous substances consumed by the actors in the prequel Star Wars [http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Prequel-Trilogy-McGregor/dp/B001EN71DQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1287000182&sr=8-7] trilogy, the original trilogy's actors were engaged in much harder stuff. " ----Quote from article

After reading this I'm thinking the actors on the prequel series should have done coke too. Maybe they wouldn't have sucked so much.

 

[BrionJames]

you know what, I don't care, Empire still the best Star Wars in the trilogy and if I could go back in time directly to the set of Empire, I'd totally bring some coke and do it with the princess.
