Interview released a conversation between Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-stars Carrie Fisher and Daisy Ridley. Especially when it comes to the objectification that’s synonymous with being an attractive female in a blockbuster film. “That will make you uncomfortable, I’m guessing”, she says.

Fisher: “My favorite is when you see, like, a month-old kid dressed as you, so that it looks like the mother swallowed your outfit when she was pregnant, and the baby came out like that”.
Fisher declared, “I am not a sex symbol, so that’s an opinion of someone”. “I’m looking forward to your space kiss, ‘ Fisher said”.
After laughing and denying that she’s a sex-symbol, the 59-year-old star offers Ridley a few wardrobe advice: “You should fight for your outfit”.
“That chain only “enslaved” me until I could use the frabjous thing to KILL THAT DROOLING SWOLLEN SUPERTONGUED SLUG and whirl him off into infinity”, she wrote on Twitter, referencing the villainous Jabba the Hutt.
“You keep fighting against that slave outfit”, Fisher further insisted. “I was there at the right time”, she says.

CF: You’re going to have to have one. [Journalists] also ask if you guys gave us any advice.
FISHER: Wait a minute! “Now I get to have someone to talk about it with-you!”
CF: I said, “fans”.
RIDLEY: Exactly. You paved the way for all the girls. I just got back from the airport in Berlin.
DR: Oh, yeah. I have talked about that.
Given the fan furor over that iconic bikini, it’s understandable that it would be a very weird thing to be so deeply associated with. It’s quite a spectrum.
RIDLEY: I say, “I auditioned for the role because everyone did”.
Fisher’s role as Princess Leia defined her career in Hollywood, and an appearance in the franchise will likely do the same for budding star Ridley. I don’t share that.
