Carrie Fisher Had Major Script Input
The late, great Carrie Fisher will remain forever in our hearts as the iconic Princess Leia in Star Wars. Writer–director Rian Johnson recently uncovered that in addition to staring in the new Star Wars movie Carrie worked with him on re-writing the story: “I love her so much man, and I connected with her first and foremost as a writer. She’s a brilliant writer with an incredible mind. I’d go to her house and we’d sit on her bed for hours going through the script, and we’d have these stream of consciousness, jazz poetry-style ad-lib sessions and at the end of it we’d have this four-word line of dialogue which was the distillation of that.”
