Koo Stark’s deleted scenes from Star Wars (1977)
The Independant reported that Koo Stark had consented to assume the role of Princess Leia while Carrie Fisher was still deliberating her decision.
Once Fisher officially committed to the role of Leia, Stark was cast as Camie Marstrap, a friend of Luke Skywalker, portrayed by Mark Hamill.
Although her character did not appear in the final cut of the film for many years, it was eventually made available to the public in 2011 with the release of several deleted scenes from "Star Wars."
Koo Stark's character, Camie Marstrap, is featured in a deleted scene from "A New Hope," where Luke Skywalker visits Tosche Station, located near Anchorhead on Tatooine. Fans familiar with the broader "Star Wars" universe may recognize this setting, as it has been included in the comic book and novel adaptations of the original film's screenplay, despite not being part of the final version as well as a recent appearance in The Mandoverse.
