Here’s how much Harrison Ford made from Star Wars: The Force Awakens

But as we’ve seen recently with Daniel Craig as James Bond and JJ Abrams’ own rendition of the Star Trek franchise, a reboot is not at all a bad thing particularly for a franchise like Star Wars in dire need of getting back to its roots and growing new shoots.

So there you have it – if the new movie doesn’t have copious scenes of young Han checking the oil of a Geonosian solar sailer while looking longingly over at a certain Corellian freighter on its way to the scrapyard, the filmmakers will have Harrison Ford to answer to.

So what; was young Han Solo a carpenter, like Ford was when Lucas cast him in the first Star Wars movie?

The Force Awakens is a movie that puts an end to an era in Star Wars history and Driver’s character is in the very middle of it all. They doubt the film’s current success if it were made without him.

In the buildup to this movie, the focus was always going to be about Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, the original trio.

Possible light spoilers regarding Daisy Ridley (Rey).

His salary is more than 76 times greater than that of British newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.

Harrison Ford, who reprises his role in the latest instalment “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, wanted Solo to be killed off in “Return of the Jedi”, the sixth episode of the “Star Wars” saga itself, reported Aceshowbiz.

While we might have seen the last of Ford in this trilogy, we definitely haven’t seen the last of Daisy Ridley.

The overnight estimates have Star Wars according to the Hollywood reporter bringing in between $50 to $55 million – the biggest opening for a Thursday beating out Harry Potter and Batman who previously held the top spots.

The Force Awakens hitting theaters, Entertainment Weekly and EW Radio on Sirius XM present this special podcast of our interview with the actor at his plane hangar at the Santa Monica Airport.

Suddenly, it feels like 1977 all over again.
