Wookiees. Why did it have to be Wookiees? The actor has reprised iconic characters, including Han Solo, over the past few years…and it was that character that helped Harrison Ford recognize that Star Wars would be a huge hit. Harrison Ford told The Hollywood Reporter that, although he couldn’t have predicted the success of
Star War in the years to come, he was aware that its core values and heart made it accessible. “I thought Star Wars was going to work. I don’t really know anything about science fiction.

The beautiful princess, the old wise warrior, and the callous youth. I knew I was the smartass needed. It’s pepper. It would at least put my children to sleep.” At least it would put my children to sleep.”In addition to [as Han Solo]Star Wars
Han Solo, Harrison Ford has of course reprised other fan favorite characters: Indiana Jones for the fifth installment, Dial of Destiny (which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where Ford also received an Honorary Palme d’Or), and Rick Deckard in Blade Runner 2049.On reprising these roles, Harrison Ford never expected to take part in them again, saying, “It never crossed my mind. I can’t remember if this was popular in the past. We didn’t use to do that. When I made the first
Star War movie, the only clause I objected to was the sequel clause. I refused to sign it because I didn’t want any obligations.
