Carrie Fisher a sex symbol as Princess Leah? I don’t see it. I can’t believe she was ever considered a sex symbol.

In the sci-fi world it’s called the Princess Leia paradox: Princess Leia hot, Carrie Fischer not. Odd, but somehow true.

25 or so years , the fake red hair and that blue sparkle crap around her eyes arent much help either.

I dunno. There's something about her I liked. I just wish I could put my finger on it.

I never thought Leia was hot. The skimpy getup grossed me out worse than Jabba the Hut. She’s a skank.

Don't worry. There's always Natalie Portman.

I would make a joke about hot grits, but this is FR, not /.

I remember when I first saw “Star Wars”, I thought she was not beautiful but pretty enough to get by in the role.

I do think she had a good figure which was well displayed on “Return of the Jedi”.

When a woman reaches a certain age (lets say, in the case of glitter applications, over the age of 12) cosmetic choices should be made wisely.

I’d rather have a healthy overweight Carrie Fisher than a coked out drug addict Carrie Fisher. Same for others like Stevie Nicks.
