Star Wars propelled Harrison Ford to the massive leagues. The previous carpenter went from taking part in bit components to one of many greatest names on the planet, with swashbuckling house adventurer Han Solo by far the best character within the authentic trilogy. Males wished to be him, girls wished him. And, let’s face it, a variety of males most likely wished him too. However although Star Wars made his profession, Ford has usually expressed his annoyance with it and the followers.
He’s repeatedly stated he doesn’t suppose a lot of Han Solo as a personality, describing him as “a a lot much less fascinating character than Indiana Jones”, that George Lucas’ writing was “comparatively skinny”, pushed for Solo to die on the finish of Return of the Jedi and has usually claimed to be accomplished with each Solo and the franchise generally. All of which made a shock when Ford reprised the function twice within the sequel trilogy, as soon as in The Drive Awakens and once more in The Rise of Skywalker.
Regardless of this, he clearly nonetheless doesn’t suppose a lot of Star Wars. A tweet went viral yesterday containing Ford’s reply when a fan requested if Solo in The Rise of Skywalker was a Drive ghost, like Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin earlier than him. Ford’s response is priceless:

Effectively fairly. There’s not way more that must be added to that, save that Ford is efficiently plumbing new depths of grumpiness as he approaches 80 years previous.
Luckily, Ford isn’t planning to retire from performing anytime quickly. Disney just lately confirmed that Indiana Jones 5 – the ultimate instalment within the archaeologist’s adventures – is formally in pre-production and set to shoot in early 2021. Ford is donning the fedora as soon as extra and Logan‘s James Mangold is within the director’s seat. That’s due out in July 2022.
Within the meantime, I’m elevating a glass of vacation cheer to Harrison Ford, who reminds us all to not take Star Wars too severely.
