Ford is not ungrateful and not disrespectful of Lucas, who also created Indiana Jones. Ford just disagrees with how Han's story should have ended. He's wrong, because of course Han and Leia have to end up together. Return of the Jedi could have been a lot better but it's not because Han lives, it's because Lucas didn't have anything for Han to do except help attack the bad guys and find out he gets the girl because the other guy is her brother.
@Spiptaylor1 Leia would have just had babies with Greedo's force ghost, and Han's death would be remembered as one of the all-time great movie deaths.
Actually fellow director of Stawars Empire Strikes Back wanted Han to die as well which caused him to leave the project. George Lucas made the greatest fantasy world, but he denies storytellers from doing anything with it.
@pmilleroly27 Your an idiot. Have you not read any of the books? Played the video games, read the comics? They all tie in with the Star Wars Universe.
@xAUSSIEREAPER Sorry, I meant films specifically. Ya, their are a lot of of great books, video games and comics, but no films are to be found. He doesn't look bad when someone makes a great book or game, but lets say Christopher Nolan wrote/directed a Starwars Trilogy or any high end filmmaker. That could make George Lucas look really bad, but it would make a lot of people happy.
I don't profit from Han Solo merchandising and as a SW fan I think killing Han Solo would have been a mistake, I see the last SW as a movie of good triumphs in the end and thats what it was supposed to be, it's one of those movies that a good ending fits, Darth Vader redemption and death was the tragic factor in the movie. Now what I would love to see changed is the replacement of the Ewoks with the Wookies and the removal of the vader nooo in ep6 new edition...really what was lucas thinking..?
@ABQ1793 Man, watching the Blu-Ray edition of ROTJ,I was thinking the same thing.Get rid of the Ewoks, (the only reason Ewoks and Gungans exist is for kiddie appeal anyway) replace them with pissed off, crossbow weilding Wookies and you've got the perfect ending to the trilogy.
Despite the darkness of The Empire Strikes Back, the original trilogy isn't about tragedy (that was saved for the prequels). It would've been tonally awkward to have Han die in Return of the Jedi. Viewed in its entirety, the six-part saga already has one love story that ends in death. The Han and Leia relationship deserved a happy resolution.
Han's death would have given so much weight and cogency to the Star Wars narrative; in lieu of that juvenile Ewoks circle jerk, fail ending.
That's why Kutz left--because he couldn't stand to see his masterpiece besmirched by blatant money-grubbing.
Someone needs put a bullet in Jabba The Lucass' hollow head to stop him whoring SW any longer. Be it film, TV, video game, cartoons... nothing good, only bile has come of the SW license since Lucass gained full autonomy.
@Sablicious I'm not defending Lucas' recent creative implosion, but Kurtz as a producer was fired for massive budget and production schedule overruns on Empire. And the whole 'no winners in war' thing is for Saving Private Ryan, not children;s fantasies like Star Wars! (And it really is essentially for children, whatever thirthysomething fans might say now.)
@Sablicious It is more than a kiddie flick(s), but when kids reach the age of about 12 (when they are leaving childhood), they become more interested in other mythologies like LOTR, Dune, or The Left Hand of Darkness, which dare I say are deeper and more profound and beyond the grasp of most 7-8 year old who can understand the Star Wars OT perfectly well. All IMO of course, so don't flame me.
The story of some midget gay lovers who took on a power so immense it made the Emperor look like a frail nursing home geriatric and won; when all the armies of the lands could not??

if he died then we'd have been saved from last minute additions to the story that called upon some blatant past tense incest. Because Luke would have ended up with Leia instead.
@LEGOkevo Han was only in episodes 4-6. Not Episodes 1-3. If they made episode 7, then maybe Han could return, but really... if there is no Hayden Christensen, then who cares.
And yet, the character had a future in the expanded universe with marrying Leia and having three kids (even though Anakin Solo was later killed and Jacen went Sith and later died).
It depends on what you consider "destroyed." Mark Hamill may not have quite the level of fame that Harrison Ford does, but his net worth is six million dollars, and he went on to be a brilliant voice actor.
@joshmarsh1 What, and the the CG diarrhoea prequels didn't ruin any careers?
What's Samuel L. done since his retardly malappropriate, pink wiffle bat flailing appearance Star Wars? The Oscar award-winning Snakes On A mother-fucking Plane? lol!
@Sablicious i didnt even want to talk about the "other films" because i didnt think it was nessisary, skywalker-terible the only other movie he did was awake which sucked, and of course young annie, where is he? samual jackson's career wont falter because he isnt known for that role, he has made some bombs thought, even mcgrager, liem neason, and natlie portman careers have taken off becuase of these movies though......
@joshmarsh1 Neeson was an earnest actor long before the prequel schlocks. Trainspotting made McGregor. Portman was a rising star after the superlative Heat then her career stagnated until the recent Black Swan.
Also, comparing acting careers of different eras isn't an accurate model.
Today, any halfwit reality star or crap rapper can have a career in Hollywood. The only thing that dictates an actor's viability nowadays is how many tween fan they have & how much they cost.
@Sablicious hamill has been in one jay n silent bob movie and has done voice overs for the joker.....thats about it from what i understand, he is not a bad actor no, but how many movies have the other star wars actress/actors have been in? and not some b list movie im talking award wining stuff, MOST OF THESE ACTORS CAREERS ARE OVERRRRRRRR, other then a few small parts thry really havent been in anything.....oh and its spelled sherlock =(};~{P}
@joshmarsh1 Like I said, acting is a different game nowadays. It's not about talent; it's about popularity.
Hamill is no Pacino; but if the original trilogy was released now (with the commensurate success), Hamill would be getting gigs left, right and centre.
Also, who knows Hamill's motivation. Maybe the guy didn't want / need more stardom after the SW phenomenon. Methinks he would have made a fortune just from appearances and interviews.
After we've seen the Prequel Trilogy, I say Han Solo deserves better. I say Han Solo is a high point in the Star Wars Saga. (To Princess Leia) "Could you tell Luke? Is that who you could tell?"
It's really sad, because co-producer Gary Kurtz had a different idea in mind: he wanted the movie to end with Han Solo dead fighting alongside the Wookies (not Ewoks), Princess Leia struggling with her newly-found political duties, and Luke walking off into the sunset to enter solitude and truly master the Force. As Harrison Ford hinted in this video, though, George Lucas was against Han dying, and it had *everything* to do with how well Han Solo toys were selling.
"Return of the Jedi" may have not been a stellar conclusion for most of the characters (only Luke and Vader get anything good, and the blu-ray ruins that with the pointless and drama-wrecking inclusion of "NOOOOOOOOOO" that's even off-sync with the visuals, but killing off Han would have been a mistake.
@Thermodynamic Although he was only in this movie, you have to admit the Emperor's body exploding out of sheer compressed evilness is a pretty fucking awesome conclusion for his character though.
Fuck You George Lucass and Fuck You Harrison Ford and Fuck You Ewoks and Fuck You Gungans and Fuck You JarJar Binks and Fuck You Special Editions and Fuck You Phantom Menace and Fuck You Dance scene in RotJ and Fuck You Dinosaur walking in front of the "These are not the Droids you are looking for" Scene and Fuck You No Original Trilogy on Blu-Ray and Fuck You "Nooooo!"

@back2frinky ...i love Harrison Ford but the only reason i FU'd Harrison Ford was that he said they should of killed off Han Solo in the Original Trilogy! no way man!...i got pissed off when they killed off Chewie in the expanded novels!...
the thing that bothers me is that george lucas has to understand that starwars is behond his imagintion and that he should stop rererererereleasing the old and focus on how hes going to give new material to new talents so the "universe" concept he always talks about becomes a team effort instead of a narrow single vision... take episode 1 and 2 for example
Really?? Most of you guy's are parasites. Firstly, Han could not have been written into the prequels if you read some books and not rely on just the facts of the movies, Han would have been a little kid during the times of the 1-3 series. It just shows how ignorant the interviewer was, to ask a 60 something Harrison Ford such a ridiculous question?? all you people out there are just as ignorant by attacking one another fer such dumb shit. Really?? I say again.....Really??
@akira74100 Also, who ever it was that posted that Ford would have become such a great actor without the role of Han Solo. You are dead wrong, Harrison was a set designer for A New Hope, a glorified carpenter. Lucas had him read for Solo's part, liked him and hired him. A New Hope and the role of Solo made Ford, so for that Ford should be suckin' Lucas's cock. Without the role of Solo, Lucas's friendship with Spielberg and the fact of being in the right place at the right time made Ford.
Dont hate on the guy for saying wat he truly feels. He would have become famous with or without han solo role. The sheer fact that he is discrediting the role as han solo shows that he was not in acting for money&fame, but for the enjoyment of acting. dont hate him for being honest.
@mercurymadhatter It's the truth. It's why Jedi ended up that much-maligned, Ewok love-in, instead of a poignant reminder that there are no winners in war--it wouldn't have sold as many toys that way. -_-
Lucas was selling out Star Wars even in the original trilogy days. The effrontery he barfed up on screen with those CG schlock prequels (and ever since) was nothing unexpected for those who really knew the guy.
Wow. What a pack of opinionated pukes here. His earring looks fine. He is damn good looking and in great shape for his age. Sophistication does not make him boring. Maybe you just can't keep focused. And every frickin Indiana Jones movie was damn good. What the hell is this pickfest? Nearly everyone on youtube is like a parasitic flea just waiting to bite. It is ignorant and childish behavior. Unless you are all under 12 years old, I guess Satan has you all by the nuts, doesn't he?!
I think you have it wrong Mr. Ford, the Indiana Jones character is the one that should have been killed off. That last movie was the biggest piece of crap in the franchise.
@Evongelo for some reason a lot of people in the original trilogy weren't too fond of their characters.
Harrison doesn't like Han Solo, Alec Guiness thought Star Wars was retarded and Mark Hamill doesn't like star wars because it's the only thing he's remembered for. its a shame really.
I don't get why people don't like being part of a legacy like that. Better to be remembered for being part of this, than not being remembered at all in my opinion.
@AJBfc Spot on dude! And if anyone has any hesitation whether or not George Lucas has turned into a fat, lazy sellout, please watch the RedLetterMedia – Star Wars prequel reviews
@fazryu So if he wants to pierce them for whatever reason he cant because he doesn't have many years left? Some people are of the opinion that people of ANY age shouldn't do anything to their bodies at all? No tatts, no piercings. Is that correct as well?
@TheLydianRocks Well that is also a matter of opinion. As you've already deduced, in my opinion he's at the age of being a fatherly figure rather than the high flying youth he was. Why would he want to pierce his ears? For the reason to conform to the youth's definition of 'cool'
@fazryu Of course it's my opinion. Would you prefer i uttered yours? Why would he want to pierce his ears? Erm, i don't know, why would anyone want to get a tattoo? why would someone want to raise bees and collect the honey. BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS. And HIS opinion is that he likes it, so who are you to say what he wants to do is wrong if it's not illegal, immoral or harming anybody, grow up.
So Han didn't ever use the force.. He did have the fastest ship in the galaxy, he got the hot chick, the cool buddy Chewey, and he was the only non jedi human to fire up a lightsaber.
Its certain alot more could have been done with Han Solo as a character. His arc in the first movie was ok and pretty good in the second but he could have been any random rebel dude for most of the third.
Lucas pissed off Harrison by giving Han Solo a pretty lame role in "Jedi". They save him, then he pals around with Ewoks and looks puppy-eyed at Leia, then they blow-up a bunker. Worse yet with the Greedo fires first bullshit he changed Han's character arc in "ANH" where he enters a ruthless smuggler and ends up a hero. So if he wants nothing to do with Han blame George.
With how it is now the change doesn't really change his character arc, but it just is totally pointless since they basically fire at the same time, meaning he'd probably have fire either way. I didn't like the change to that scene to begin with, but not it's just superfluous.
@SLPIFan GL stated back in '97 that he changed it because he didn't like that Han shoots someone in cold blood, (this is in George's mind, really Greedo had his gun on Han and pretty much said he intended to kill him.) Having them shoot almost simultaneously is George trying to polish a turd and ironically taking away the reason for the change in the first place (as you've surmised). However Lucas seems to think it necessarily since he thinks we're too dumb to know what Greedo intended to do.
@JMYodaTHX thank GOD someone else agrees with me about the return of the jedi thing. to me, he just isn't han solo in that movie, due in no part to harrison's fault. george just sucked out so much of the wit and cockiness that made han so iconic in the first place. of course tho, this is just my opinion.
@JMYodaTHX If you read about the amount of rewrites and story help that Lucas needed for ANH, coupled with the story and character blunders that Lucas makes on countless OT updates and the aweful Prequels, it becomes obvious that Lucas is not a "master storyteller", but a mediocre one that got really lucky.
Hmm. I see what he means. Personally, the best place to do that would've been to kill Han instead of put him in carbonite. But I disagree about Han not being "interesting". Maybe it's because I kinda grew up with the "Star Wars is AWESOME!" generation, but Han is a very interesting character, kinda grounding everyone else. Leia's a princess, Luke's a mystic knight, and C-3PO is a random sidekick, but they all have to deal with the guy who doesn't take any of them seriously. Which works.
Han Solo was my hero as a kid but story-wise, I agree with Ford. Having Han sacrifice himself to save the others would have been a great, tragic, heroic end for the character and the entire Star Wars story. I think Leia realizing that she is pregnant with Han's child (or twins, as in the EU) at the close of ROTJ would have been a nice touch as well.
He has a point that Han was wasted in the third movie, which isn't necessarily the fault of anything, outside of the fact the storylines aren't really able to correspond properly. If anything, they should've made it so that Leia and Han spent the movie trying to meet back up, instead of kill interest by proclaiming love for one another in the first 20 minutes.
Silly...as proved out from book after book after book written in his honour, Han Solo was the richest of all the characters to develop. Even more so than Luke.
It would be kind of silly to bring Solo out of carbonation just to kill him off. I disagree with Ford's assessment of the character. However, I do prefer Indiana Jones as a more interesting character...
He wanted his character to be killed off at the end of ESB. Then there would have been no Jabba in ROTJ.

Did HE design the ships? NO! Did HE design the SFX? NO!
He wrote a story that took already successful ideas and set them to a space theme.
Everything else was merchandising at a time when toys were dull.

the thing that bothers me is that george lucas has to understand that starwars is behond his imagintion and that he should stop rererererereleasing the old and focus on how hes going to give new material to new talents so the "universe" concept he always talks about becomes a team effort instead of a narrow single vision... take episode 1 and 2 for example

Really?? Most of you guy's are parasites. Firstly, Han could not have been written into the prequels if you read some books and not rely on just the facts of the movies, Han would have been a little kid during the times of the 1-3 series. It just shows how ignorant the interviewer was, to ask a 60 something Harrison Ford such a ridiculous question?? all you people out there are just as ignorant by attacking one another fer such dumb shit. Really?? I say again.....Really??
akira74100 2 months ago 2
@akira74100 Also, who ever it was that posted that Ford would have become such a great actor without the role of Han Solo. You are dead wrong, Harrison was a set designer for A New Hope, a glorified carpenter. Lucas had him read for Solo's part, liked him and hired him. A New Hope and the role of Solo made Ford, so for that Ford should be suckin' Lucas's cock. Without the role of Solo, Lucas's friendship with Spielberg and the fact of being in the right place at the right time made Ford.

Dont hate on the guy for saying wat he truly feels. He would have become famous with or without han solo role. The sheer fact that he is discrediting the role as han solo shows that he was not in acting for money&fame, but for the enjoyment of acting. dont hate him for being honest.

@mercurymadhatter It's the truth. It's why Jedi ended up that much-maligned, Ewok love-in, instead of a poignant reminder that there are no winners in war--it wouldn't have sold as many toys that way. -_-
Lucas was selling out Star Wars even in the original trilogy days. The effrontery he barfed up on screen with those CG schlock prequels (and ever since) was nothing unexpected for those who really knew the guy.

@TheLydianRocks Well that is also a matter of opinion. As you've already deduced, in my opinion he's at the age of being a fatherly figure rather than the high flying youth he was. Why would he want to pierce his ears? For the reason to conform to the youth's definition of 'cool'

And HIS opinion is that he likes it, so who are you to say what he wants to do is wrong if it's not illegal, immoral or harming anybody, grow up.

Lucas pissed off Harrison by giving Han Solo a pretty lame role in "Jedi". They save him, then he pals around with Ewoks and looks puppy-eyed at Leia, then they blow-up a bunker. Worse yet with the Greedo fires first bullshit he changed Han's character arc in "ANH" where he enters a ruthless smuggler and ends up a hero. So if he wants nothing to do with Han blame George.
JMYodaTHX 4 months ago 32
@JMYodaTHX
With how it is now the change doesn't really change his character arc, but it just is totally pointless since they basically fire at the same time, meaning he'd probably have fire either way. I didn't like the change to that scene to begin with, but not it's just superfluous.
SLPIFan 2 months ago
@SLPIFan GL stated back in '97 that he changed it because he didn't like that Han shoots someone in cold blood, (this is in George's mind, really Greedo had his gun on Han and pretty much said he intended to kill him.) Having them shoot almost simultaneously is George trying to polish a turd and ironically taking away the reason for the change in the first place (as you've surmised). However Lucas seems to think it necessarily since he thinks we're too dumb to know what Greedo intended to do.
JMYodaTHX 2 months ago
@JMYodaTHX Maybe a better director could have coaxed more energy out of his performance. Or, of course, leaving the Ewoks as Wookies.
squamish4244 2 months ago
@JMYodaTHX thank GOD someone else agrees with me about the return of the jedi thing. to me, he just isn't han solo in that movie, due in no part to harrison's fault. george just sucked out so much of the wit and cockiness that made han so iconic in the first place. of course tho, this is just my opinion.
thatfilmgeekguy 2 months ago
@JMYodaTHX If you read about the amount of rewrites and story help that Lucas needed for ANH, coupled with the story and character blunders that Lucas makes on countless OT updates and the aweful Prequels, it becomes obvious that Lucas is not a "master storyteller", but a mediocre one that got really lucky.
ralphyetmore 2 months ago 2
Hmm. I see what he means. Personally, the best place to do that would've been to kill Han instead of put him in carbonite. But I disagree about Han not being "interesting". Maybe it's because I kinda grew up with the "Star Wars is AWESOME!" generation, but Han is a very interesting character, kinda grounding everyone else. Leia's a princess, Luke's a mystic knight, and C-3PO is a random sidekick, but they all have to deal with the guy who doesn't take any of them seriously. Which works.
TheZacula 4 months ago 4
Han Solo was my hero as a kid but story-wise, I agree with Ford. Having Han sacrifice himself to save the others would have been a great, tragic, heroic end for the character and the entire Star Wars story. I think Leia realizing that she is pregnant with Han's child (or twins, as in the EU) at the close of ROTJ would have been a nice touch as well.

MerelyAFan 5 months ago
He has a point that Han was wasted in the third movie, which isn't necessarily the fault of anything, outside of the fact the storylines aren't really able to correspond properly. If anything, they should've made it so that Leia and Han spent the movie trying to meet back up, instead of kill interest by proclaiming love for one another in the first 20 minutes.
