Han Solo Bores Ford




Harrison Ford vows never to reprise the role of Han Solo, opining that "Some characters are decidedly one off kind of characters. Some characters don't outlive the movie."

Not too surprising, given that he famously tried to get GL to kill off Han during the RotJ finale, in order to neatly tie up the Luke/Leia/Han triangle (obviously before he was made aware of the sibling angle).

Ford also wanted Han to die in the carbonite at the end of ESB because he believed his death was called for to propell ROTJ.

Isn't there a saying among the acting community....

"There's no such thing as a one-dimensional character... only one-dimensional actors"

Just food for thought.

Alright I'll be the "odd man out" and say that I agree with Harrison, it was a great character for him to play then but there's not a lot left for him to do with that character. Even if they decided to pick up the saga and continue onward (which will never happen, not with the same story-line) there isn't really anything more he could do with that Character, heck even in the books Han hasn't really changed much, but that's okay in print because it's just a piece of the play for an author. But for an actor, especially an accomplished one, there's not a lot more room for him to evolve Solo beyond where he left him, no challenge.

I'm glad they didn't kill him off in ROTJ because he's had a lot of impact on the EU (though I'm okay with the idea of him getting off-ed any time now yoda10.gif ).
