Carrie Fisher and Warwick Davis

A Star Wars behind the scenes photo. Carrie Fisher and Warwick Davis (Ewok Wicket) on the set of Return of the Jedi behind the scenes. Warwick Davis was 11 years old when he did the Star Wars movie. He was originally cast as an extra Ewok, but Kenny Baker, who was originally going to be Wicket, fell ill, George Lucas picked Davis to be the new Wicket after seeing how he carried himself as an Ewok.

This photo was taken at the set showing Jabba The Hutt (looks like they are sitting on him) and Pricess Leia in a bikini when she was his slave.
