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

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

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

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

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

Maybe she wasn’t in the original Star Wars (though she did jiggle here and there), but she certainly was in Return of the Jedi. You are free to disagree—though that would lead me to ask if you’re blind—but it’s hard to argue with the popular response. Her gold-bikini sexiness is a pop-cultural touchstone.

"I can’t believe she was ever considered a sex symbol."

Well, I can assure you that she certainly was considered so. At least, by me anyway.

Perhaps only for 2-3 minutes at a time...

but I've always had an unusually fast metabolism.
