And afterwards she had a pill popping contest with Chewbacca.

That might explain why Harry copped a feel in ROTJ?

Wasn't she like, 17 when Star Wars was filmed?
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
She was born in '56 and Star Wars was filmed in '77 so I'd say about 20-21 years old.

Maybe she did the nasty with him during the filming of the Star Wars Holiday special,when she was supposedly high. George Lucas even refuses to admit that that was ever made, he is so embarrassed about it.

Nope, it was filmed in '76. It was released in '77.

Technically speaking, wasn't all the youngsters in SW somehow able to avoid Viet Nam service, too? assuming they were in thier 20's around '76?

They were actors, I don't think they could deal with a war movie turned real. No stunt doubles and such.

Considering the US had effectively pulled out of Vietnam in 1973, I don't think that was a problem, not to mention the fact that the draft was discontinued that year as well.

A very rough search has truned up quite few people working in the industry in the mid-seventies who were Vietnam Vets. Fingers of one hand, really - Dennis Franz, Brion James, Tom Savini, Tucker Smallwood and Oliver Stone. I'm afraid it's beyond my searching abilities to come up with a list of twentysomething-in-the-mid-seventies American male actors who might have been eligible for the draft prior to 1973. Born in 1951, Mark Hamill could have been eligible, but it would appear he got an exemption by going to college.

I think Harrison Ford would have been just too old to get drafted when the war started. In 1965 he would have been 23.

Key words, "I THINK "

In 1965, Harrison Ford was 23. And 23 is not too old to be drafted. The disconnect here is that, apparently, they didn't start drafting for Vietnam until 1969.

There's a lot of smackdowns going on in this particular thread...

Leia was all about diplomacy and would've stood with Jane Fonda and done army-incriminating documentary footage, calling out Nixon to remove his vile stench from the lands. Then, workout videos.
