Foul Stench
I have been reading The Making of Star Wars and I really enjoy it. That's not terribly surprising, of course. The thing about the book and the story it tells that I find most interesting is how much thrashing took place on the story of Star Wars itself as the movie was being made, in addition to the more well-known budget and logistics issues.
One of my favorite moments thus far was a description of the encounter between Leia and Tarkin on the Death Star. Apparently Peter Cushing (Tarkin) was very self-concious about odor, so he always splashed on lavendar water when working. This created somewhat of a dilemma for Carrie Fisher, because she needed to utter the line, "Governor Tarkin... I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board." She commented that was it kind of hard to say, since he smelled so nice. Hee.
