Just a few months before the Princess Leia star died, she claimed she had a three-month romance with Ford which she kept secret for 40 years. Fisher was 19 at the time of the alleged affair in 1976, 14 years younger than Ford, who was 33. Ford never said a word or made any comments in response to Fisher’s controversial claim.

She told People magazine: “It was so intense. It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”

Over the course of the Star Wars franchise, the character Leia matured from a young bikini-clad princess to a seasoned and respected resistance general in the latest instalment.
