Carrie Fisher has revealed that Princess Leia’s romance with Han Solo in “Star Wars” extended off-screen, as well.

Fisher tells People magazine that she enjoyed an “intense” affair with co-star Harrison Ford during the filming of the 1977 blockbuster.

Fisher was 19 and Ford was 33 and married at the time of what she says was a three-month affair. The actress tells People, “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.” She says the romance ended when shooting on the film did.

Fisher writes about the fling in her new book “The Princess Diarist,” which recounts her experiences on the “Star Wars” set. She says that she gave Ford a heads-up about the book and he received a draft.

    No surprise in that everyone knows they had a son, Kylo Ren.

  2. MoiLee says:

    so what was it “Lando Calrissian” or Paul Simon after the filming of Star Wars? I’m so confused. Haaaaaa!

  3. Cellodad says:

    I always kind of wondered. The on-screen chemistry was really strong. I’m not surprised.

  4. Usagi336 says:

    Ummm. Who cares?

  5. justmyview371 says:

    Who was having an affair with the Wookiee?

  6. cojef says:

    Wanton lust is always intense! At least she ran her script by Ford for old memories sake or that olde desire, spark, oo uu feeling returned.

  7. residenttaxpayer says:

    Rather ancient history….

  8. fiveo says:

    I guess this kind of stuff does interest some people but why does Fisher have to make this kind of thing public. Kind of makes it seem Ford took advantage of a
    19 year old who had been enamored by a dashing older man. Nothing new here but wish she had kept this affair to herself.

    • Sandys says:

      Has to sell her new book but should have kept it private for Harrison’s wife if they are still married.

    • Ken_Conklin says:

      A gentleman never tells. But it’s OK for a woman to tell? Considering who her parents were, it’s no surprise she was flagrantly immoral both in her sexual escapades and in her breach of another person’s privacy for the sake of publicity. Remember her two-bun hairdo? Maybe those weren’t hair — they were her brains all tangled up and on the outside of the skull.

    Love triangle with Jabba the Hut.

    Got Leia.

    I guess he’s lucky she waited this long to spill the beans.
