Carrie Fisher And Mark Hamill

Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were the heart and soul of the Star Wars film franchise for a long time. When it was revealed that Princess Leia was, in fact, Luke’s sister, it introduced a whole new element to the duo’s dynamic and caused viewers to rethink the original trilogy entirely. Not to mention the fact that, in retrospect, their kiss from The Empire Strikes Back was exceedingly awkward due to the reveal of them being siblings!

The Falcon’s Cockpit

The Millenium Falcon is, in many ways, a character in its own right. It is arguably the most iconic starship in the history of sci-fi fantasy. George Lucas wanted the heroes to travel in a “flying saucer,” but he decided to build a cockpit on the side to make it a little more interesting. The crew built a set large enough to fit all of the principal characters inside the cockpit for scenes shot there. It was filmed from the cockpit’s front, peering in.
