22 Shots That Completely Ruined The Magic Of Star Wars

22. Chewy The Pervert

Chewie By now an infamous set still, it's unlikely this pose was officially sanctioned, since it suggests quite openly an intergalactic intimacy in a universe that seems to have been strangely square about its love boundaries. And though there's a lot of humour to be had in the moment, it reinforces the more human side of Chewie's character, which is the least interesting part about the wookie. And if you think Chewie's outrageous groping was the end of the relationship between the characters, you'd be wrong, as gigantic actor Peter Mayhew and Carrie Fisher clearly got a kick out of pushing the boundaries of interstellar relations, and forcing everyone on set to re-evaluate their stance on the most taboo of loves - between a woman and a giant, warrior furry...

21. Luke The Pervert

Luke The Perv And it isn't just the aggressive hairball who had boundary issues with the feisty princess, apparently. There are very few publicity stills from the Original trilogy that don't paint a picture of a cast perpetually about to rip each other's clothes off, or sabotaged by a mischievous or uninterested poser (this one scores double points for the inclusion of both.) Poor Carrie Fisher, posing nicely for the camera, fully unaware of the hi-jinx behind her as on-screen brother Mark Hamill breaks the image of his character to stick his tongue in her ear. Such behaviour should not be expected of a Jedi, let alone a brother. The over-riding image this pair of pictures presents is of a perpetually sexed up cast flirting outrageously between takes, and basically falling over each other to have sex with one of the few females in the entire Star Wars galaxy.
