Carrie Fisher once hosted SNL and it was hilarious

Not long after becoming a household name thanks to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Carrie Fisher hosted the comedy show Saturday Night Live -- and it was absolutely hilarious.

Donning her Princess Leia costume, Fisher -- who sadly passed away on Tuesday -- masterfully delivered a monologue featuring her "good friend" Obi-Wan Kenobi:

"I felt a little awkward coming out in my Princess Leia costume because it might seem like I’m exploiting Star Wars, but I went along with because if I came out as myself who would recognise me?" Fisher says.

"I really didn't know what to do, I felt real weird so I went to the one person who I now I can trust, someone who's been always there in the past. My good friend Obi Wan Kenobi."

She then proceeds to tell a joke involving Star Wars characters Bantha and Jabba the Hutt -- and featuring the voice of Kenobi himself.

"Trust your feelings Carrie, let yourself go, it's a funny joke," says the Kenobi voice.

"Okay. You're the force." Fisher replies.

A girl "from outer space"

The episode then takes a leap into a 1950s beach party attended by a lecherous Bill Murray. 22-year-old Fisher makes fun of her character's iconic costume.

She then launches into a musical number about being a girl from outer space.

"I'm a teenager from outer space trying to make it in the human race. Although I come from another world I'm really a very nice girl!"

Carrie Fisher really was a truly unique talent.
