The man was a god-damned legend.

Richard Miller, the Industrial Light and Magic sculptor that helped create Princess Leia's gold bikini costume for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, has died. He was 80.

Almost a year ago, Miller had taken to Twitter to share a tidbit from the Princess Leia bikini saying, "I sculpted the Princess Leia bikini back in 1981 for Return of the Jedi. Fun fact: It was quite uncomfortable on Carrie so I glued leather to the interior so she could move around more freely."





He also worked on a whole bunch of movies no one has ever heard about like:

The Flintstones (1994), Baby's Day Out (1994), The Mask (1994), Casper (1995), Congo (1995), Jumanji (1995), Mission Impossible (1996), Spawn (1997), Flubber (1997).
The Mummy (1999), Space Cowboys (2000), A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001), Planet of the Apes (2001), Hulk (2003) and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003).
Pirates of the Caribbean series of films.

In a 3 month-period in the summer of 1983, a 9-year-old Porkchop saw both this



and this at the movies.



I've been convinced for the last 39 years that this was Chevy Chase's real reaction to this event.

There were a number of guys in intermediate school hiding this in their history textbooks instead of reading and filling out worksheets.

The coaches and teachers collected a bunch of these between '79-'81 when Christie was on the cover.

Stupid image filter hates SI issues with Christie Brinkley on the cover.

This movie changed my life

In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

The greatest outfit in the history of Star Wars, followed by Darth Vadar's.

I guess the Chewbacca strap would sit #3.
