Jabba Desilijic Tiure , the Hutt crime lord , forced Leia Organa to wear the costume after capturing her during her failed attempt to rescue the enslaved Han Solo . Like other scantily - clad dancers previously in his service , the imprisoned Leia was forced to lay before Jabba , kept in place by a chain held by the Hutt . Jabba kept her in this submissive position in front of all his subjects and henchmen as a means of humiliating the princess . After only one day of imprisonment , however , Organa used the same chain that imprisoned her to strangle Jabba the Hutt to death . History . Conception and creation . Princess Leia Organa ' s slave costume was created partially in response to complaints by Carrie Fisher about the lack of interesting costumes her character wore in " " and " " . Fisher felt one could not tell " she was a woman " from the wardrobe , and said of it years later , " I got one , sorry , two dresses , and the first one ( looks ) the same all the way around . " " Star Wars " creator George Lucas gave the " Return of the Jedi " costume department only general instructions when it came to Princess Leia Organa ' s slave costume , but it was clear to them he wanted something special for the outfit ; Aggie Guerard Rodgers recalled , " His eyes started sparkling when we talked about it . " The costume was inspired by the works of , a who often concentrated on the female form . The outfit was first developed in sketches by Nilo Rodis - Jamero , the " Jedi " costume designer who previously served as assistant art director of visual effects for " " . Rodgers then built the costume as part of the Industrial Light & Magic visual effects company . Richard Miller also helped with the costume ; veteran ILM - maker Lorne Peterson brought Miller aboard for " Jedi " after he viewed several of Peterson ' s private sculptures and realized they were very similar to the Leia slave costume they were developing . The costume designers made a of Carrie Fisher ' s so it could be designed to a custom fit . Rodgers and the staff created multiple versions of the outfit to accommodate different scenes in the film , including a hard metal piece for scenes in which Fisher remained still , and a rubber outfit she and stuntwoman Tracy Eddon could wear comfortably while performing stunts ; Eddon wore the latter costume when she swung from Jabba ' s sail barge with Mark Hamill ' s stunt double , Colin Skeaping . The outfit was lined with so it would not chafe Fisher ' s body . Rodgers originally wanted the costume ' s fabrics to be twenty - five yards long and flow throughout Jabba ' s palace , but the costume department could not make the concept work . Regarding fans who want to make their own slave Leia costume , Rodgers said , " There ' s a lot of stretchy fabric out there . I would use rubberized material from anywhere . And hand stitch it so there are no big explosions when you ' re walking about . " Carrie Fisher and crew reaction . Prior to the filming of " Return of the Jedi " , Lucas invited Fisher to to show her a picture of the costume . Fisher said he showed her the picture " to frighten me into , I think . He succeeded . " Fisher was also asked to tone her body in such a way that she would have no lines or wrinkles around her waist for her scenes in which she sat up straight in front of Jabba . In the 1990s , Carrie Fisher would show " Return of the Jedi " to her daughter , Billie Catherine Lourd , who fell asleep the first time she saw it . During her first scenes in the slave costume , Fisher said she thought , " Oh my God , there is me with the good body , " and tried to wake her , saying , " You are going to get this body , so pay attention . " Despite her daughter ' s indifference , Fisher later said in a " Star Wars Insider " interview , " but it ' s not a bad body to get , and of course I didn ' t know that at the time ( of filming ) . We were all younger then . " One of the became extremely excited to learn that he would be doing the body - casting of Carrie Fisher and talked about it every day . The department became concerned about the situation and , at the last minute , gave the job to another moldmaker . Peterson recalled , " If he had just kept his mouth shut and not been so enthusiastic , they would have let him go through with it . " Similarly , Rodgers said many of the " Return of the Jedi " crew were men who " really enjoyed being on the set " during Fisher ' s scenes with the costume . Filming " Return of the Jedi " . The metal framework that held the top together did not move well with the costume , and it proved difficult to keep the costume in place during filming ; several scenes had to be re - shot due to " wardrobe malfunctions . " Fisher did not believe in the industry standard solution of using , so it became necessary for a wardrobe person to check whether her breasts were still secure and snug within the costume top after each take . Fisher said the costume " drove the wardrobe person nuts . " Fisher herself also found the costume to be difficult to endure and referred to it as " what will eventually wear in the of hell . " Fisher also said it was particularly revealing to the cast and crew around her . In particular Jeremy Bulloch , the actor who played Boba Fett , could see more of the actress than she was comfortable with . In an interview years later , she said , " if you stood behind me you could see straight to . You ' ll have to ask Boba Fett about that .
