From what Iunderstand he has a death clause. So if he appears he has to di cause he doesn't want to do another full trilogy. Or atleast that's what Iheard

Its still a rumour, this writer and his title especially makes it sound like its been confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney. Only then will it be official and confirmed that 'Harrison Ford WILL return as Han Solo In Episode 7". I hate it when news titles are misleading and get me all excited when nothing has been confirmed officially.
Or the 1984 Arnold Terminator in Terminator: Salvation, both of which were some of the most uncanny valley looking things I had seen since S1m0ne.Ukomba said:Calm down people. Didn't any of you see Tron? They can just make him look young with cgi like Jeff Bridges.
Terminator: Salvation didn't bother me as much since he WAS a robot, but ya, not sure if it's the eyes or the way the mouth moves that's just creepy.AlexanderPeregrine said:Or the 1984 Arnold Terminator in Terminator: Salvation, both of which were some of the most uncanny valley looking things I had seen since S1m0ne.Ukomba said:Calm down people.

I love Harrison Ford as much as the next guy... hell, in his Indiana Jones days I might have loved him a little more than the next guy *nudge wink* But now he's just too OLD to reprise this sort of role in any meaningful way.
Just give the man his Liam Neeson style "my family has been kidnapped" thrillers instead. What about Air Force One? He made a pretty good President I thought.

Never liked Harrison Ford or indeed Han Solo (ruined the original films for me). But I will say this is an interesting turn for JJ Abrams to take. It's very possible that he will play a major role like Mike said.
Still I wouldn't want to go and see the new Star Wars film in the cinema just because I reckon there will be some jackass who will complain as loudly and obnoxiously as possible during the film. I seriously hate those people.

I suspect its more likely, that news of his massive paycheck swayed him, not the involvement of JJ Abrams.
I'm hesitantly positive about this. For one thing, nobody knows yet what they are going to do with the role. Might be good, might be horrible. I need more information for that. Still, I'm inclined to give Abrams the benefit of the doubt.
Personally I'm more worried how they are going to join these new films with the three old ones (What? They made three more? Lies!), and if/how they are going to incorporate any EU material. I'll wait and see for now though.

I just finished watching Crystal Skull again to see if it was better than I remembered. Problem is even in the original Indy movies Ford had a hangdog, world weary air about him and it worked then, but watching Skull he doesn't look world weary, he just looks old. Really old. Like older than he actually was.Skeleon said:
And by the time of Episode VII he'll have another 5 years on top of that.
So let's hope they do give him a role more suited to his age. Clint Eastwood played to his age in Unforgiven and still got to shoot bad guys and be a bad ass, but like an old bad ass. Maybe he can shoot one guy. While sitting down.
After all, that worked back in '77.
