As the late, great Carrie Fisher would eventually reveal many years down the road, both herself and Harrison Ford don't do an awful lot of smiling as Leia Organa and Han Solo struggle to evade The Empire in Episode V.

But on one specific occasion, the two could very much be spotted smirking like naughty school kids when walking around Cloud City. And this was mostly down to the fact that the pair of party animals were still a bit drunk from the wild evening before.

Said night of partying involved everything from the Rolling Stones, to Monty Python's Eric Idle, to what was described as a Tunisian Death Drink, with the end results forcing the leading stars (who hadn't slept a wink) to crack a set of intoxicated grins when encountering Lando Calrissian for the first time in the series.
