Fans were ecstatic to find out Carrie Fisher was reprising her role as Princess Leia in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." However, it began with a challenging first day on set.
According to the documentary "The Secrets of the Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey," Fisher stated, "It was basically the worst day I've ever had on a film set in my life."
Writer and director J.J. Abrams mentioned that Fisher hadn't acted in a while and said he thought "she was nervous going into this."
Fisher explained what reprising that role meant after these years: "The first day I had was this massive scene. I was scared that I would make mistakes, and I made mistakes."
After diving into a bumpy first day on set, Abrams added, "Once we started to do it, she seemed to fall into it very easily."
