Harrison Ford Auditions For Star Wars

[mechan9]

240p is such a cruel mistress.

[RatSausages]

...and so they went with Peter Griffin instead.

[TheSRalston]

Damn, kudos for him for putting so much value and effort in saying all that crap, lol...

[ThrowDownArtists]

he was working on the set when they chose him to audition for the part. FACT

[Grafferty]

"Nobody, I mean NOBODY dares venture near the system of Alderaan!" Quintessential Han Solo dialogue, there.

[watcheem]

so did they get the parts or what?!

[mario0318]

@watcheem wow. aren't you a comment smoocher

[NewZealandAri]

That's not a young Harrison Ford...

That's Michael Kelso!

[The85Comedian]

@elrond70

I totally agree. Lucas defined his career with this and Indiana Jones (Lucas and Spielberg).

[Nineteen1900Hundred]

Brilliant quality.

[TheInspector3000]

lol, I love how the line makes no sence in context of star wars

[elrond70]

Harrison Ford has a terrible attitude towards the Star Wars franchise. He should show more respect for the role that catapulted him into super stardom.

[BobbyEnergy]

@AmericanPowerBase lol that works too.

[slapmyfunkybass]

if you become a carpenter you too could be han solo

[BobbyEnergy]

I would like to have seen Bill Murray auditon for it lol.

[jslbrt]

Acting without acting.

[LinkFan4199]

He didn't technically audition and wasn't allowed at first he was helping auctioneers but because of his performance george took him in



[MyCashmoney12]

thanks for filming with your ass

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 He didn't film it. And don't be so stupid. You can't film anything with ass.

[MyCashmoney12]

@DarthStarscream1138 wow your an idiot filming with your ass would result in shitty quality(yes)( no)???? it was a joke on how horrible the quality of the video was and oh im sorry thanks for uploading with your ass if im mistaken he didnt film it dickhead

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 I can't understand what you just said. lol I guess you never heard of that you have to put a little dot to seperate sentences. And you have to work on your language also. It's not good for your social skills. And you could have just said "This video got BAD quality". instead of being rude. And the word is 'uploading' not 'filming'.

I can go on and give you more tips of having a better life but I have more stuff to do. See ya around my friend. :)

[MyCashmoney12]

lol are you honestly telling me to put punctuation on my comments on youtube? wow really man get a life and no i wanted to put it into a joke like i did dont give me suggestions on what comment on youtube with df and if your telling me not to be rude on youtube then thats just your mental problem and i said my bad for saying filming rather than uploading ssssssooooooorrrrrrrrrrryyyyyy­yy obviously ive gott a 49 year old virgin angry now go upstairs and get your cookies and milk from your mommy

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 I know you're trying make me angry but I'm not angry at you at all. Actually I feel sorry for you. You just another poor victim of this currupted society. I guess you never got the guidence from your parents to have good habbits. Maybe they're dead, abandon you or don't care about you. I don't know. But with good guidence I'm sure you'll a be better man/woman someday. :)

And don't worry; I'm having pizza right now so don't need cookies. :)

[MyCashmoney12]

@DarthStarscream1138 okay then..

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 Gave up? lol

[MyCashmoney12]

@DarthStarscream1138 no i was using sarcasm

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 At least you were able to say 2 sentences without foul language. lol

[MyCashmoney12]

@DarthStarscream1138 yupppp enjoy while it lasts....

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 Oh yeah I'm enjoying it alright. lol

[DarthStarscream1138]

@MyCashmoney12 But common. Say another bad word. You know you want to. :D

[WindowsSoftwareDe]

(heavy_asthma_breathing=on) luke! I am your father! (heavy_asthma_breathing=off)

[Cacaw1]

God damn he was hot back then.

[MrJJJacksonTyler]

if i had a dollar for every pixel in this video...ive gone broke

[chevypillow247]

His voice sounds so much less deep as Han Solo in the first movie.

[tenaciousd1888]

Harrison Ford is the only one to leave his Star Wars character in the past, I'm sure he remembers the experience but you cannot mention any other member of the cast without thinking "star wars".

[BrandonMSwan]

@tenaciousd1888 James Earl Jones and Billy Dee Williams have notable roles outside of Star Wars

[tenaciousd1888]

@BrandonMSwan Alot of people couldn't tell you who plays Darth Vader because Jones is behind the mask and Billy Dee will always be known as Lando, I'm not saying they're bad actor they just haven't been able to be remembered for much more than Star Wars.

[BrandonMSwan]

@tenaciousd1888 Well, in essence, Jones didn't play him; he only got $7k for doing the voice. But anyone who knows who Jones is knows he did Darth Vader but also that he was in Hunt for Red October, The Lion King, Coming to America, and a lot of other very memorable roles for which he is remembered. Billy Dee is definitely more recognizable from this role, though, I'll admit that, but James Earl Jones is certainly remembered for much more than Star Wars

[BrandonMSwan]

@Jonellar yeah. I already said he did the voice. so... thanks?

[EuphrasieF]

@tenaciousd1888

Jones is not behind the mask. The guy behind the mask is U.K. actor David Prowse.

[JediSlayer22]

@EuphrasieF Who also played the Green Cross Code Man.

[EuphrasieF]

@JediSlayer22

I'm afraid I have no idea what that is.

[JediSlayer22]

@EuphrasieF It was a superhero-esque character in series of public information films in the early 1970s teaching children to cross the road safely.

[Danovio]

@tenaciousd1888 Mark hammil Voice of the Joker in Batman.

[kalimaganeshshivan]

Harrison Ford nailed that audition!

[pcfaulkner]

nobody dares venture near mossside

[dfowler1976]

Ford is a genius...what is wrong with kids today?/ heh

[Commando303X]

Why the FUCK are there so many red-thumbs for this video?

[WorldSpinningBlueJay]

'Nobody dares venture near the system of Alderaan!'

Yet Alderaan is supposed to be a peaceful planet! :p Obviously the storyline wasn't fully completed at this point :)

[viridianmoonlight]

@WorldSpinningBlueJay when making movies, especially ones where they have "secrecy", it's perfectly normal for the people auditioning to not get a piece of the actual script.

[WorldSpinningBlueJay]

@viridianmoonlight Oh I didn't know that! :) But the idea of Alderaan being dangerous is still funny :D

[evilemperordude]

@WorldSpinningBlueJay I believe Lucas had originally had Alderaan being the seat of the Empire.

[WorldSpinningBlueJay]

@evilemperordude Cool :D Didn't know that and there's not much I don't know about Star Wars! :)

[reniisgod]

Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy!

[wherestheunity]

the OG script was so bad..

[hanseykemmerer]

GO TO 240p TO FIX THE VIDEO! THUMBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE!

[msm318]

One of the dumbest people walking the planet........

[IHABC8]

You're what now?  Dumb?

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

So....did he get the part, or what?

[vladut06]

@Mrsilenciobackgammon No he didn't...Han Solo did!

[skateurself]

man him and kurt russel did an amazing job .. but then again.. kurt russel.. as good as he is.. had a couple of moments that seemed sorta cheesy. maybe thats why hes never gotten the recognition that he deserves.. hes almost a great actor.. almost.. but not.. han solo.. it really seems like hes just some douche bag haha.. he never has a cheesy moment.. so yeah hmm

[aug3600]

the look like lego people

[findjinn]

You gotta be a good actor to make it through this audition with this crappy and laughable script.

[CountArtha]

The writing sure got better between drafts, didn't it?

[tylerbrainerd]

@CountArtha not by much...

[pinkpinupmeow]

I <3 Harrison Ford

[kikkerman]

Sheesh, Harrison Ford was a lot more lively than Mark Hamill in his audition.

[Agent1W]

@kikkerman You see, Mark, you see? That is why you fail.

[03Dmartin]

take that bed out the background for fucks sake, we care what they are saying we dont want to hear more star wars soundtracks just want to hear them talk jesus

[IndyFan53]

One of the best frigging actors ever!

[4624tone]

he was WAy better than they would have taken, look now its legend..

[ekbutterflyink]

they just got used to me :) rofl

[mawriz]

From what documentary is this?

[kahamarca]

Notice how Mr. Ford is sighing in the beginning . Like he is thinking:" Here we go again for the millionth time..It's over 30 years give it a rest already..You know, I HAVE done other movies than those..." LOL

[71JOEBLOGGS]

@volkeran i always thought lucas originally planned 9 films for starwars but only completed 6?

[volkeran]

Appereantly Lucasfilms is planning on making another trilogy..

This is idea is so terrible: But they should get all the old cast back (Solo, Luke and Leia) and just make them a cameo or something.

[postle4]

@volkeran Lucas says the new trilogy will most likely take place hundreds of years after Return of the Jedi. But maybe Luke will be a ghost or something...

[slapsus]

@postle4

What new trilogy?

[postle4]

@slapsus George Lucas announced a new trilogy that he probably won't make until 2020 or something. But I think he might be dead by then lol.

[AwesomenessDK]

@postle4

Lucas has stated multiple times that he does NOT intend to make more Star Wars films. Originally, the plan was 9. He has since gone back on that original statement, which took place in 1979 if I'm correct, and the final tally will remain at 6 (7 if you count the Clone Wars movie). Don't listen to rumors, listen to the source, meaning George Lucas himself. Any and all material taking place after the events of Episode VI can be found in books dating back to the early 90s.

[postle4]

@AwesomenessDK I did get it from the source. About 2 months ago I read an interview with him on worstpreviewsdotcom. That's how I know when he plans on making them and how long after RotJ they takes place. I'm not saying he'll definitely make them, that's just what I read.

[AwesomenessDK]

@postle4

I've read that article.

There is no interview and not even a quote from Lucas.

It's not credible. To further add to its uncredibility, it states that the live action show is in the works. The live action show never got anywhere due to high budget estimates. You've been misinformed. I'm not trying to get into a fight with you. I merely trying to put rumors to rest and set the facts straight. I blame the site for wording hearsay in a way that comes off as fact.

[postle4]

@AwesomenessDK STOP DESTROYING MY DREAMS OF NEW STAR WARS MOVIES!!! lol

[DieserBenuterIstCool]

Thank heavens that Lucas had chosen Harrison instead of some more common nitwit out of Hollywood.

[cugel2]

< # of likes = # of times Harrison has had to tell people this story

[ssssssssssssssssss50]

why 176 dislikes and only 107 likes?

[Mustrad]

who is hon solo?^^

[ShockTherapist007]

cool acting

[lookbacktime]

That audition script sounds like prequel trilogy dialogue...

[1badsteed]

Dang! Yeah, he was definitely the right choice.

[123spuros]

It likes me beacuse is white - black that means very old interviw!!!(sorry for bad english) 

[bigjfizzyo]

imagine if Mark Hamil played Solo and Ford played Luke. It could have happened! Very unlikley but it could have

[dancefan18]

I'm FREEBOOTER BOY!!!

[ruithael]

He sounds like he's about to bitchslap his redheaded stepchild,.

[fuckamericanidiot]

yeaaahhh seems boring but AWESOME as han solo, plays a sexy cad easily

[EGarrett01]

He strikes the perfect balance between being a jerk but still being likable.

[oreopoop1]

uhm that was too short

[Mrster]

FORCE SPEED!

Harrison was playing Hanzo?!

[question905]

uhm...

[cor21cam]

huh

[iBlah6666]

Harrison Ford is my favorite actor and a real badass. He still kicks ass even in his fifties or is it sixties? Regardless, he is THE MAN.

[starwarsrebel2006]

@iBlah6666 He'll be 68 in July.

[6Sepulnation6]

Harrison was playing Han SO-

[joyandian]

it sticks

[schwoogie78]

Indiana, han, jack

[redgrant63]

Harrison is playing Han Solo? I thought he was playing Luke Skywalker all this time.

[Jamzen000]

are... are you serious?...

[ThuhManeMan15]

...seriously?

[TheVoid]

haha that made me laugh

[godzilla19892012]

rofl dumbass

[Katizzle83]

I laughed so hard when they showed Mark Hamill. I frickin' thought that was Frankie Muniz and I'm all like WTF is he doing on here? Sorry but I laughed hella hard.

Harrison was so young and handsome here.

[shomeyoT0ES]

WTF happened to the otha 27 seconds!?

[soulmman]

agreed what is this?

[Meclesky07]

@shomeyoT0ES what the hell are you talking about?

[moninajass]

mark was a cuuttteee young man wow, but he was, by the way harrisonn ford too as cute.

[nodgie1]

Mark Hmill looks DISTURBINGLY similar to Malcolm in the middle.

[08whitesoxluvr]

harrison is so young!!

[pythonflying]

staring it at :33 wouldve been better to find out how unfunny this was.

[iplaicawd]

this video made made me laugh really hard for some reason

[StarWarsMedia]

How old are they now?

[TheRealAmyLawson]

...OLD!!!.....Really old!!!

[midgiemarsh]

Harrison Ford is 66 Mark Hamill is about 55 and carrie fisher is a bout the same age

[chivauxox]

Han solo !!! lol

[QuiGonFan]

O M G Mark is ugly!

[fanzienkiro]

Mark is not ugly he is beautiful and amazing

[niffersex]

Dont state opinions like fact!

[hobbitandwife]

@QuiGonFan Dude, you know that he was in a horrible crash when he was younger, and that's why he has scars all over his face, right? Happened in the 80's, I think

[jbfarley]

@hobbitandwife he actually got in that crash right before they filmed Empire

[xoxoxxooxox]

hes a great actor

but he just thinks too much

of himself self absorbed

but hes great on screen

[alreggie]

Yeah, he hates to talk shows and interviews but sees it as part of the biz. I mean he usually has a stake in the movie and wants it to succeed.

[jabeeusofine]

He wasn't auditioning he was originally brought in to feed lines to the actors(kurt Russell tried out for Han solo)The studio didnt want him coz he already starred in American Graffiti luckilly G.Lucas decided he'd play Han best

[Zeeboe]

Ford sounds cranky in the interview. Anyway, his audition was wonderful.

[Snotra]

Aahhh he had an uncle Sol who got him into to the bizzz.....oye vey!

[truthseeker83]

Ford is great

[speedojenkins]

I have said it once before and I will say it again, when it comes to conducting interviews Harrison Ford, is by far the worst person on the planet. I honestly believe Harrison Ford, most suffer from some form of Social Anxiety or possibly even another form of a mood disorder.

[AdobeExcel]

he doesn't particularly like interviews.

[stevieVantanna]

Wow someone agrees with me.

He acts very bizarre and says wierd random things...that are somewhat funny because he is Harrison Ford-but he always looks hella uncomfortable. He behaves like he pops some xanax or something before interviews. Great actor.

[stevieVantanna]

Finnaly i found someone who agrees with me.

[formenlehre]

Awesome but too short! I want more!

[johnnyonline]

haha.. he just got used to me. lol
