Carrie Fisher on essence of 'Star Wars', UK; 1977

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia Organa in 'Star Wars' (later renamed 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope'), answers the question (not included) of how she would sum up the story of the film, drawing parallels with other works of fiction in popular culture and saying, "Well it's good against evil - it's George's [George Lucas'] homage to every film that he ever loved - George loves films, and that's what this film is about, is movies - every scene is, in some way, reminiscent of a scene in a film that we all loved before like in 'High Noon' there's a bar sequence, only this time it's with monsters, instead of Gary Cooper, and you've got 'The Wizard of Oz' where you have a robot that looks sort of like the Tin Man, you have adventure like 'Robin Hood'... George made a movie that he wanted to see." UK; December 1977. (B:LCA3749J/01 - AEVZ001J)
