Princess Leia

While making the Luke Skyywalker card I decided that I'd like to add another Slave Leia card to the collection.  I used the same Rolling Stone beach photoshoot image already on a faux 1983 Return of the Jedi inspired sticker, but it's such a fun image of such an iconic character that I wanted to give it the complete card treatment.  

On the card back I did a little background on the origin of the photo for anyone unfamiliar with it since it's obviously not a scene from the movie.

 

Tracey Eddon

In 2009 photos from 1982 of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double Tracey Eddon sunbathing in identical Slave Leia bikinis were leaked to the internet.  If you fall in a certain age bracket chances are that Princess Leia was your first crush, so multiply that times two and you can understand why this behind-the-scenes shot caused such a stir.

The photo is from the set of Return of the Jedi.  It's in Yuma, Arizona which served as Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine.  Carrie and Tracey are soaking up rays between scenes on the deck of Jabba's Sail Barge.

I made this card as sort of a custom supplement to Topps' 1983 Return of the Jedi card set.

Huge TTM success from Miss Eddon
