I remember the first time they took me to see George Lucas with that ugly f—ing hairdo, and he looked at me and he said, “Well, what do you think?” I said, “It’s great!” I hated it, but I was afraid he was going to fire me and hire Jodie Foster. So I got new hair for “Star Wars”–and I also took shooting lessons. I used to make this horrible face whenever I shot a gun. George would say, “Princess Leia knows how to shoot a gun, she’s never freaked out.” So I took shooting lessons from the guy who taught Robert De Niro for “Taxi Driver.” I didn’t grow up playing cowboys and Indians, and here I was playing cowboys and stormtroopers. My fantasy about these movies was always that they would do a sequel of the Shopping Planet and the Beauty Parlor Planet, where Princess Leia would get to do girl stuff.
