In the 1990s, Carrie Fisher would show Return of the Jedi to her daughter, Billie Catherine Lourd, who fell asleep the first time she saw it. During her first scenes in the slave costume, Fisher said she thought, "Oh my God, there is me with the good body,"[6] and tried to wake her, saying, "You are going to get this body, so pay attention."[6] Despite her daughter's indifference, Fisher later said in a Star Wars Insider interview, "but it's not a bad body to get, and of course I didn't know that at the time (of filming). We were all younger then."

I was three when "Jedi" first came out, and probably 14 before I realized the point of that costume.

How old was her daughter at the time? I could understand a child of a certain age being uncomfortable seeing their mom in a sexy outfit.

Billie wasn't born until 1992, so Carrie probably showed her the movie when the Special Edition came out in '97.

Not that I'm really encouraging this thread going anywhere (since previous experience has taught me this topic tends to go to bad places), but what does that quote have to do with the title?
