Exactly a year ago, Carrie Fisher left us for a better place. Nearly a year later, after her last movie has just premiered, The Last Jedi might give you the impression that her lines have something more within them, an aspect more touching and personal than the lines of nearly any other character in the film. Naturally, Fisher left us with far more than we anticipated, ​writing her character's lines.





Believe it or not, aside from being an actor, Fisher also worked as a script doctor in Hollywood. She would punch up and edit screenplays by adding jokes, rewriting dialogue, or whatever else was needed to increase the quality of the story.





Fisher was famous for her wit and it should come as no surprise she was quite good at one-liners. When she and Luke reunite, her line, "Luke, I know what you're going to say: I changed my hair," was none other than a line she scripted herself, director Rian Johnson says.

Her final scene with Laura Dern's Vice Admiral Holdo, where they both struggle to say a final farewell, was also the result of her scripting. Leia and Fisher are two sides of the same coin, one an icon, the other a princess.





Despite The Last Jedi's "fans" incessantly shouting for the movie to be removed from canon, all fans have to agree that this, in its own way, makes the film something unique, something that no other Star Wars film is. A memento of a witty, strong individual.
