General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In The Princess Diarist, Carrie Fisher recounts her experiences during the filming of the first Star Wars movie, drawing from journals she kept at the time. The book offers an intimate look at her youthful musings, love poems, and vulnerabilities as a teenager navigating the complexities of fame. It details her interactions with the cast and crew, especially her affair with Harrison Ford, while also exploring the absurdity of celebrity and the challenges of maintaining a sense of self. The narrative balances personal reflections with shrewd insights into the type of stardom few ever experience. It also delves into her feelings of loneliness and insecurity, as well as her struggles with the legacy of Princess Leia.
