Barclay worked on both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, although his work in movie puppets certainly hasn't slowed. It just happened to be totally accidental and through a disgusting Hutt puppet.ĭave Barclay's comments come from his recent appearance on Great Big Story, detailing his long career as a puppeteer. While many fanboys have fantasized about Leia and her gold bikini in Return of the Jedi, it looks like one Star Wars member of the crew got to get cozy with the legendary actress. And then she said, 'Jabba, that's not my shoulder.' I think it's the only time Jabba blushed. I reposition my body on the Jabba torso, reach down and put my hand on a shoulder. I was looking at these tiny little monitors and really couldn't see much at all. And so the director said to me 'David, would you put your hand on Carrie's shoulder?' I said Ok.

One afternoon when we were working on Jabba, Princess Leia in the slave costume was lying against Jabba.
