    The queen mindset is so ingrained in her that she makes time to switch clothes six times a day. With appropriate clothes for every occasion.

          Fisher explained that Lucas informed her, “In space you get weightless, and so your flesh expands.” In this scenario, he was convinced that a bra wouldn’t expand along with the skin. So, in the end, a woman like Leia could wind up being strangled by her own brassiere.

          I’m sorry George, but what made you think that? That’s not even considering that all the ships in Star Wars seem to have artificial gravity anyway…

            Oh George’s thought process was, “How can I tell this lady to not wear underwear and it not be creepy? Maybe if I try an overly nerdy excuse.”

              Lucas: Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he…

              Good ol’ George about Marion meeting Indy for the first time. His first idea for her age at that time was eleven, by the way.

        I swear I remember reading a magazine back in the day, either before the movie was out or shortly after, talking about all the outfits “Queen Amidala” wore and that they were there “to give the girls in the audience something to look at.”

        They phrased it in such a way that made it sound like they were explaining the occasional monster truck that drove through the set of a rom-com. “To give the men who were dragged here something to look at.”

    Your breaking up with me aren’t you?

    Why would you say that?

    because you’re dressing like that

    Oh Anakin I forgot you have a Clown fetish, let me dress in something more sexy.

    George Lucas was notoriously ambivalent and dismissive towards the EU. The one character he was super stoked to get into his version of the sequels?

    Darth Talon. IYKYK, otherwise do a quick search once you’re not at the office.

    My man has some issues to sort out, or maybe he already has, and he has some specific kinks he wants to evangelize.

      At the end of Episode 2 Padmé gets more and more revealing clothes. First she loses her poncho and then her jumpsuit gets torn to reveal her midriff.

      At the time I thought it was a clever reference to the same happening to Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest. Now I’m not so sure.

        Well, then there’s the Indiana Jones brainstorming session with Steven Spielberg and Lawrence Kasdan.

        G — He’s thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve.

        G — It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time. S — And promiscuous. She came onto him.

        G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he…

        I guess by the time the movie gets made, between script changes and casting decisions, nothing is certain and 17-22 is probably most likely, but George is a product of his time and place, and not exclusively in good ways.

      “So my vision for the series is that it’s just a fun kid’s show. Also Leia in a tiny metal bikini.”

        “Also very important for family entertainment reasons that the slave lady Leia replaces had her boobs literally out of her skimpy costume and flopping around when she got murdered.”

          To be fair, I guess I did pause that scene a bunch as a child.
