In 2014, actor Peter Mayhew — a.k.a. Chewbacca — treated “Star Wars” fans to some production pics of Carrie Fisher taken while she was playing Princess Leia on the set of the original trilogy…along with some rather cheeky captions. As the world remembers Fisher’s incredible career, here’s a look back at her time filming her most famous role.

Apparently Princess Leia’s bun-hair was very bouncy.

“There are no words for this loss,” wrote Mayhew after Fisher’s death. “Carrie was the brightest light in every room she entered. I will miss her dearly.”
