Harrison Ford on His Return to Star Wars as Han Solo
At the time of the interview, about two weeks ago, Lucas said he had yet to see the film, which reunites original 1977 cast members Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill and is directed by J.J. Abrams. (So) I end up emailing Lin-Manuel Miranda and I say, “I know you were kidding but if you actually want to write this music, I’m actually working on something”.
“Star Wars was always a boys’ thing, and a movie that dads could take their sons to”, he told Good Morning America. No, I didn’t think so. Until then, “I don’t worry about saying anything”, Ford says.
Star Wars and Hamilton fans alike have taken to Twitter and mashed together Hamilton lyrics to images from the Star Wars saga using the hashtag #Force4Ham.
“Obviously you’re seeing him in a very different time in his life, there are lots of surprises in this movie. And it was horrifying”, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director shared to Howard Stern during his appearance on SiriusXM station last Monday. Lucas made another three Star Wars films between 1999 and 2005. In the official trailer, viewers got a glimpse of original characters Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), but the there was no sign of Mark Hamill as the iconic character.
Unless youre dead, youre aware that theres a great deal of hype surrounding the impending release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (and even if youre a ghost, you still probably noticed).
His spoiler-free review? “It was great”, Ford said of watching the franchise back on the big screen again. It’s a wonderful movie. “It’s a real big movie and I was delighted to see it”.
