During the making of ANH. It was the reason Carrie Fisher had to go bra-less under her costume, which caused certain... issues, resulting in having to tape down her breasts.

I heard that the bra strap was showing through the costume due to the thin material used, and so they decided go with tape instead (and for those of you who are unaware "tape" refers to athletic tape which is what women used before sports bras came along, so get those duct tape fetish images out of your noggins), but I was unaware of this being part of some canological "underwear doesn't exist in Star Wars" rule. The look of the costume would have been ruined if you could see a bra strap through it, and it didn't make sense to go back and re-design it when they could just ditch the offending undergarment. Maybe I'm wrong, but whatevs.

I was under the impression it was gaffer tape. Hence "Gaffer Tape" and his Leia avatar.

Also, I don't mean to be a prude, but I think that removing the underwear from Leia's slave outfit is unecessarily risque (even considering the costume itself, lol), especially since the movie is rated PG. A few frames of digitally painted on ass seems like a kind of frivolous change to make.

And I already get weird enough hits on my blog without adding the words "remove Leia's underwear." ;-)

Well, I'm all for it. I say we have a vote, lol
