Unknown by some, Carrie Fisher has worked on scripts in her long career. During the 90s, Fisher worked on such films as Hook and The Wedding Singer.
Some of her re-writes from the dialogue in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back have recently been released. The re-writes were released by documentarian Will McCrabb with some of these rewrites making the final cut of the film.
For years, Leia’s quick wit and whip-smart dialogue have long been praised, and after these edits have been released, it looks like Carrier Fisher can be thanked for some of that.
