40 years under wraps: Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher, now 60, stunned fans by revealing a secret romance with co-star Harrison Ford (now 74) during filming of the first Star Wars movie in 1976.

The then 19-year-old Fisher, playing Princess Leia, and the 33-year-old married Ford (Han Solo) had a three-month whirlwind affair.

On-screen heroes, off-screen romance: This revelation, decades in the making, fuels the fire of fan dreams that transcended the screen.

Fisher candidly described their intense connection as “Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”

Memories unearthed: Rediscovering old journals from filming triggered Fisher to share this hidden chapter.

In an excerpt, she reveals her vulnerability: “How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me?”

Fondness remains: Though brief, the romance left a positive mark. Fisher recalls it fondly despite its ending, praising Ford’s kindness and trusting “something about him.”

Ford’s response to this revelation is yet to be heard.
