Greatest sci-fi photo ever: Twin Princess Leias in slave bikini outfits
In case you have any doubts as the brilliance (aka "puberty-inducing effects") of the original Star Wars trilogy, take a look at this: Carrie Fischer and her stunt double napping on the set of 1983's Return of the Jedi ... while wearing their epic metallic slave bikinis.
I'm sure that moments after this photo was taken, the photographer fell to his death after slipping in a puddle of his own drool.

As a 'Stuck In The 80s' fan member, can I get that photo in a high-resolution file? It would greatly enhance my reputation, as a dude.

I was unaware that Jabba's barge was a cruise ship.
