Thanks To the Princess, Han Wasn't Always Solo (cnn.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the love-affair dept.

rmdingler writes: It seems the chemistry was strong with these two. It is interesting to note how long it took this to emerge, as by today's standards, it doesn't rise to nearly the same level of scuttlebutt. Almost 40 years later, Carrie Fisher told People magazine that she and Harrison Ford had an affair on the set of the 1977 film 'Star Wars.' "It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend," she said. "After stumbling on often angst-ridden journals she kept while filming on location in London, she felt the time had come to open up about the formative experience," reports People magazine. "'It's been 40 years,' explains Fisher, who went on to write The Princess Diarist, excerpted exclusively in this week's issue."

      Silence is classy, it's also probably smart socially and legally. Fisher was quite young when she filmed the original Star Wars, I think around 17 or 18 years old. Ford would have been around his mid-30s. I always thought the age gap of their characters made their early encounters a touch unsavory (20 vs about 35). The idea of the two of them having a fling strikes me as less sexy and more predatory, if it is true. If Ford confirmed the rumour then that would probably put him in a bad light for having sex with a borderline legal teenager.

    I wouldn't exactly say it's "trashy, salacious gossip about actresses" when the actress herself is saying it. One might actually even question the slightly sexist assumption in the way you phrased that -- given that Ford apparently hasn't said anything yet to confirm or deny this, isn't this closer to "trashy, salacious gossip about an ACTOR"?!

    Regardless -- whatever the exact level of "gossip" this falls under, it's still basically celebrity news and therefore I completely agree this has no business on Slashdot. I used to make jokes here about how we tend not to pay have stories about stuff most people seem to care most about -- and my classic examples were sports and celebrity gossip.
