Thanks To the Princess, Han Wasn't Always Solo (cnn.com)
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."
Where can we read more fan fiction about this? Anyone got a good tumblr link?
Why is this shit posted on Slashdot? A lot of cocks have been sucked in the history of mankind and I guess none of those events really qualify as something to post on Slashdot.
I think his unwillingness to comment on it is fairly classy.
The usual suspects are trying to slut-shame her to make them feel better about their unstable marriages.
I suppose everyone is playing their role here.

"it's been 40 years" and I need the money, so to get people to buy the book I am dragging out all my dirty laundry.
There are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third is statistics.
Did Han shoot first?
BeauHD, trashy, salacious gossip about actresses in a SF film is still trashy and salacious gossip. You are single-handedly dragging this once-great site into depths of moronic self-parody unplumbed since the Jon Katz era. Seriously, this is like A Post Too Far. You are in need of an intervention, for the good of your entire organization.
I'll chill out if you promise never to say "cute inside look" ever again. Deal?
I loved all these great films. Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones, etc. But I guess I'm the only person who really doesn't give a shit about the actors and actresses who played the characters. Who cares? They were just pretending to be them. The cocky bastard Han Solo was who I liked, not Harrison Ford the actor, who from what I understand is an easily-led airhead. Princess Leia had it going as the arrogant space princess who was nonetheless a brave resistance leader, but Carrie Fisher? She had a great role in The Blues Brothers but that was it.
My theory is "fandom". There's just not enough crap out there to be a fan of. I mean, there are only three Indiana Jones movies to watch in the whole canon, (not counting the Young Indiana Jones which are actually pretty damn good but don't have much to do with the original movies) but if you want to talk about Harrison Ford then there is so much more. I think this constant culture of "fandom" just requires more material, more cutting room floor footage that was left there for a reason, more retrospective books about the filming of the movie, what stormtrooper TK-421 was eating that day at the commissary when he spoke his lines, on and on and on. Because, let's be honest, how many times can you watch the movies? After a while they just get stale and you might as well shout the lines with them ala the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The fans want more, more, more. Look at the Phantom Menace to see how well that worked out.
I remember a story by someone who was just super excited that they got to have lunch with the guy who wore the Boba Fett mask. Like, big deal? He's just an actor, it could have been anyone.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

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.
Eh? What? What is "this"?

Right, see, that's the thing you put at the start of the summary so people know what the hell you're talking about.
It also wouldn't kill you to remember that a significant percentage of your readership is not US-based and will have no idea what "scuttlebutt" means (and will probably think it's a stupid word even if they do).
