Carrie Fisher a aussi été "script doctor" :
> Script doctoring, or script consulting, is a skill that often goes uncredited and unacknowledged in Hollywood. Writers will get hired to polish up an existing screenplay; just like doctors, they diagnose problems and suggest solutions. In the case of script doctoring, that means anything from adding in a few new jokes, to implementing massive structural changes or reworking entire characters and scenes.
> Carrie Fisher’s career as a script doctor became the stuff of legend in the 1990s. Fisher was responsible for fixing up Hook in 1991, Sister Act in 1992, Lethal Weapon 3 in 1992 and The Wedding Singer in 1998.
Dans un autre registre, elle a aussi averti Daisy Ridley contre l'utilisation de son corps et de son image, en référence au (trop) célèbre bikini de "slave Leia" de l'épisode VI :
> - Ridley: “No, they always talk about how you’re a sex symbol, and how do I feel about that. [Fisher sighs] I’m not a sex symbol! [laughs]”
- Fisher: “Listen! I am not a sex symbol, so that’s an opinion of someone. I don’t share that.”
- Ridley: “I don’t think that’s the right—”
- Fisher: “Word for it? Well, you should fight for your outfit. Don’t be a slave like I was.”
- Ridley: “All right, I’ll fight.”
- Fisher: “You keep fighting against that slave outfit.”
- Ridley: “I will.”
