**yes... i know it's hutt.... but i'm quoting the article

A bikini worn by Carrie Fisher in ‘Star Wars: Episode VI Return Of The Jedi’ has sold for $175,000.
The iconic gold costume, which also included hip rings and bracelets and was worn by the late actress when her character Princess Leia was captured and chained up by Jabba the Hut, went under the hammer at Heritage Auctions in Dallas on Friday.
The auction also saw a miniature Y-Wing starfighter ship used in a mission to destroy the Death Star in ‘Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope’ sell for a huge $1.55 million following a bidding war.
The model was one of just two ‘hero’ Y-Wing filming miniatures built by the Industrial Light and Magic visual effects team.
...
And the costume made filming difficult.
She explained: “I had to sit very straight because I couldn’t have lines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid straight.”
But the actress enjoyed getting hands-on when it came to using the chains to kill Jabba.
She said: They asked me if I wanted my stunt double to kill him, but I wanted to.
“I sawed his neck off with that chain. I really wanted to kill him.”
