Princess Leia Was High During Star Wars

[manythings]

Wait, this is news?

Agreed. How could people not have known or at least suspected?

Being a Princess, leader of the Rebel Alliance and the daughter of the person you're fighting has to be a very stressful job.

Didn't they talk about this years ago during one of the documentaries or DVD commentaries? I distinctly remember her talking about how she was so destroyed in a lot of her scenes that someone had to say the lines and she would just repeat them. The scene where her and Harrison Ford almost kiss on the asteroid, if you look at him you can see him kind of doing it.

This shouldnt come as a shock to anyone. Go watch the Holiday special, and you wont believe how stoned she is during the entire show. (I cannot say I blame her, as horrible as it was... and singing a song to the Star Wars theme? I would imagine that would be enough to bring on a sudden "sniffing" attack by itself.)

 

[Ghengis John]

well at least it confirms that people can act while high.

Nice avatar. Guts. High five.

And why is it MORE hilarious to me that they were doing it on the ICE PLANET? "Look at all this snow, man."

I'm not old enough to have seen the documentaries and we have the videos, not the DVDs. However, I do remember noticing Harrison's mouth moving sometimes when Carrie was speaking.

It's even in her Bio here: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800010395/bio

She was high even before this. She STARTED during the filming of the Holiday Special.

That says something when the only way to keep sane during the filming of that abomination was to be high.

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

That wasnt fake snow.

Damn
My starwars fanboyism passes right over that and is more concerned you used a RoJ picture not a ESB one.

>.<

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

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...

Spoiler: I have to disagree

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Hah, Those kids from clone high smoked raisens.

"I can taste the sun!"

...

Bu meh, who cares.

 

[ravensshade]

Why is anyone suprised by this? I thought everyone was high in the 70s.

QFT, it was the 70's. I would be more surprised if no one on that set was high.

i traveled trough time to the set and wasn't high

while logical it's still interesting to know that they just did it on set

 

[imnot]

but from what I heard drugs make you worse at things,

 

[Something Amyss]

but see this worked to her advantage, she is probably the only cast member who has a legitimate excuse for the holiday special

Maybe the rest were also high. You know, that would totally explain its existence in the first place.

 

[Iron Lightning]

Makes sense to me, check out her performance in the Holiday Special she is quite obviously high off her gourd.

At least one of them was, anyway, with Carrie Fisher recently admitting that while she wasn't on camera as Princess Leia, she was snorting cocaine.

So,you mean to say that all the time Carrie Fisher wasn't on camera, she was doing cocaine. That's hardcore, I don't think I could do cocaine for three or four hours a day.

"We did cocaine on the set of Empire, in the ice planet,"

Remember all that white stuff covering the set of Hoth... that wasn't snow.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I thought this was old news... also wasn't Kenny Baker notorious for smoking pot in the R2 doll? Or was that just a rumor.
Either way, weren't they all drugged to hell back then? And moreover did anyone really care, and do they now? Shit. It was the late 70's early 80's. Christ, listen to the music of that time and you KNOW people must have been high. Seriously... DISCO? C'mon...

 

[LightspeedJack]

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

 

[RatRace123]

Wait, this wasn't common knowledge?

 

[GonzoGamer]

Wait, this is news?

My thoughts exactly. Fisher was a notorious coke head.

Slow news day I guess.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

I thought this was old news. Ever see the Holiday Special? She's freaking blazed. Or this Rolling Stone cover

Paul Simon even did an album about it.
