Their love affair on Star Wars turned out to be ill-fated as they famously discovered they were siblings after sharing a steamy smooch.

Speaking to The Guardian, the 66-year-old actor confessed that he enjoyed a secret fling with Carrie - who died last year - but it ultimately fizzled out as they couldn't stop giggling whenever they were together.

Mark recalled: 'Carrie and I were attracted to one another, but I knew from previous jobs that it would have been a bad idea [to get involved with a co-star]. But Carrie and I found pretexts.'
He revealed that the pair had been discussing kissing techniques during a drunken encounter before they ultimately ended up locking lips themselves.
Asked if the pair 'got it on' during the filming of the first film in 1977, he admitted: 'Oh, yeah! Are you kidding me? We were all over each other!' before explaining that the steamy session came to an end when they caught the giggles.

Carrie died suddenly aged 60 in December 2016 after she suffered a medical emergency whilst on a flight from London to LAX. An autopsy found she had cocaine, ecstasy and heroin in her body four days before her death.
The late actress appears in Star Wars: The Last Jedi as the Resistance general in scenes filmed prior to her passing.
The film ends with a dedication to Carrie, who makes her final appearance in Episode VIII.

Before her death, Carrie revealed she had a whirlwind three-month-long affair with co-star Harrison Ford while filming the first Star Wars movie in 1976.
At the time she was 19, whilst Harrison was a 33-year-old married father of two.
‘It was so intense,’ she said in her memoir, The Princess Diarist. ‘It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.’
She admitted that she was riddled with insecurities during the affair, as she recalled: 'I looked over at Harrison. A hero’s face — a few strands of hair fell over his noble, slightly furrowed brow.
'How could you ask such a shining specimen of a man to be satisfied with the likes of me? I was so inexperienced, but I trusted something about him. He was kind.’
