One of the many traits that made the late Carrie Fisher such an icon was her incredible sense of humour and biting wit, which you would've spotted in her tweets or her heartwarmingly funny obituary request.  

It's also something that's evident in a video of Fisher roasting George Lucas during a speech commemorating his receipt of the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 2005. 

Fisher jokingly blamed Lucas for ruining her life, thanked him for creating enough "fan mail and even a small merry band of stalkers," and keeping herself, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford entertained for the rest of their "unnatural lives."

Essentially, it's over four minutes of restrained rage mixed with love for Lucas, and a pertinent reminder of how Fisher was like no other.
