Carrie Fisher Hanging Out With Some Stormtroopers While Promoting “Empire Strikes Back” in London, 1980

In real life, Princess Leia may not see eye to eye with the Stormtroopers, who captured her in Star Wars: Episode IV - New Hope, but Carrie Fisher, the actress who portrayed Princess Leia, proved she’s chummy with them off-set. In these classic photographs, Fisher showed off her goofy side posing with her arch nemeses. In fact, she delighted in being carried by not one, but two Stormtroopers.






In The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Carrie Fisher reprised her role as Princess Leia Organa, a key figure in the Rebel Alliance and one of the trilogy’s most iconic characters. Her performance in this film deepened Leia’s complexity — portraying her not just as a fearless leader, but also as a woman struggling with love, loss, and duty.

Fisher was only 23 when Empire was filmed. Despite the pressures of fame and a grueling shooting schedule, she delivered a performance that solidified Leia as a cinematic legend. She often injected humor and intelligence into Leia’s dialogue, even improvising or helping to shape her character’s voice.
