10 Biggest Feuds In Star Wars History
7. Harrison Ford And Carrie Fisher
Whilst shooting the first film, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher had a three-month-long affair, which was kept a secret until Carrie Fisher finally revealed what had happened between them in her 2016 book, The Princess Diarist.
Fisher was only 19 at the time, whilst Ford was married with two children. In her book, Fisher recalled toying with the idea of asking Ford to leave his wife for her towards the end of their affair.
In 1979, Ford divorced his wife, but Fisher insisted in a 2016 interview with Radar Online that it happened "for reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with me.''
Since Fisher's passing in December 2016, Ford has spoken out about his experience with the Princess of Alderaan. In a public statement shortly after her death, Ford praised his co-star, saying that "Carrie was one-of-a-kind. Brilliant, original, funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely."
Even so, Ford was also quick to brush the affair under the rug. When GQ asked him about the affair in 2016, Ford replied "you know, with Carrie’s untimely passing, I don’t really feel that it’s a subject that I want to discuss."
Even though this was not strictly a feud and the two became good friends during and after the making of the original trilogy, it certainly made things pretty awkward for the pair when working on the films.
