Lev Grossman of NerdWorld got an early copy of Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking, based on her recent one-woman show. He shares some juicy tidbits that I will share too for my fellow Star Wars fanboys out there:
- The only directions George Lucas ever gave on set were "faster" and "more intense"
- Lucas made Fisher tape her boobs with gaffer tape
- Fisher was afraid the hair-do made her face look fat.
- When they were filming the scene in the trash compactor, the beast that lived in there was called a Dianoga, and "in between takes of Mark simulating the strangulation, he would pick up a little piece of rubber trash and start singing (to the tune of 'Chattanooga Choo-Choo'), 'Pardon me, George, could this be Dianoga poo-poo?'"
