Carrie Fisher’s One Regret from Star Wars Revealed by Mark Hamill

Carrie Fisher, known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise, had a moment of dissatisfaction during the filming of A New Hope, according to her co-star Mark Hamill.

The release of Star Wars in 1977 marked a turning point in the science fiction genre and catapulted its lead stars, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill, into overnight fame.

However, the film also had personal implications for Ford and Fisher, as they embarked on a three-month affair.

Despite the affair garnering attention, it seems that Fisher's most challenging moment on set was not related to her relationship with Ford, but rather a scene involving Peter Cushing.

During the Star Wars Celebration show, Hamill revealed that Fisher expressed regret about her performance when Princess Leia meets Tarkin (played by Cushing) on the Death Star.

Fisher admitted that she felt she had overdone the English accent in the scene.

Hamill disagreed with Fisher's self-criticism, believing that her portrayal of Leia was flawless.

He attributed her dissatisfaction to working alongside many English actors, which made her self-conscious.

Fans of Star Wars also appreciate Fisher's depiction of Leia and have few criticisms of her performance.

Ford's reaction to Fisher's memoir, The Princess Diarist, which confirmed their affair, was guarded.

While rumors of their relationship had circulated for years, the confirmation came four decades later.

Ford, who had been informed about Fisher's plans to reveal their affair, simply described the situation as “strange” from his perspective.

Despite their personal issues, Ford and Fisher maintained professionalism on set and in public.

They even reunited for the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, showing that their connection extended beyond their past relationship.

Carrie Fisher's regret about her scene with Peter Cushing highlights the complexities and challenges faced by actors during the making of Star Wars.

Despite these personal struggles, the film's impact on the genre and the lives of its stars remains undeniable.
