Tauntauns, Wampas, and Snow

I was casually browsing reddit this evening and happened upon an image of Carrie Fisher from Return of the Jedi. The caption mentioned something about her coke nail, which isn't too shocking since I don't know anyone who honestly survived the 80's without a little help.

Wrong finger, Leia.

This prompted me to do a little homework on the subject. According to The Guardian (not the most reliable news source, but certainly one of the more entertaining), Fisher admitted:

"We did cocaine on the set of [The] Empire [Strikes Back], in the ice planet. I didn't even like coke that much. It was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high."

Now, the scenes on the ice planet Hoth are some of my favourite from the trilogy due mostly to Leia's deeply expressive face. She is somehow pensive, pained, concerned, and strangely haughty. She is especially striking in the scenes where she learns that Han is departing to pay his debt and right before he leaves in search of Luke. Now that I find out she was more than likely high, I've got to say it really kind of worked for her. I'm not endorsing drug usage, but I am endorsing Star Wars...and short fingernails.

Fighting your feelings for Han or just experiencing an overwhelming sense of superiority?

It doesn't take much to convince me to begin my next Star Wars marathon, but I just can't wait to play the  who's-high-in-this-scene game next time I do.

Get it, girl.
