As a sci-fi fan, there are some great moments in science fiction that makes me sit up and take notice, and remember for years to come. One of those times is when Carrie Fisher suddenly showed up as the prisoner of Jabba the Hut in “Return of the Jedi”. Of course, it wasn’t just Carrie Fisher; it was Carrie Fisher in a gold metal bikini. The sight of Fisher in the revealing bikini, with a chain leash around her neck, to be exact. (Seriously, what kind of phase was George Lucas going through when he came up with that scene?) As a result of that one scene, every sci-fi convention has had its share of women dressing up as Slave Princess Leia, and the world is better for it.
So, in honor of that great moment in sci-fi, we’ll be posting some great moments in Slave Princess Leia costuming every now and then. Why? Because it’s Slave Princess Leia, man. If you have to ask, you just wouldn’t understand anyway.
Up first: Kristen Bell (of Heroes and Veronica Mars fame) in the “Star Wars”-themed movie “Fanboys.
