Funny, because Harrison Ford really wanted out of the franchise for good.

When Han was frozen in Carbonite, it was done to give some ambiguity to the return of the character, as Harrison Ford wasn't sure if he even wanted to return for another film.

Then in the new series, he immediately gets his character removed from the rest of the series. Make up your mind! Are you coming back or not?

It’s Disney. Characters have survived worse.

"Somehow, Han Solo returned"

I really hope that, if Disney has the bad taste to bring Solo back, they at least have the good sense to have the character feed multiple, improbable and usually contradictory explanations as to how he survived... more bragging scoundrel than rebel leader.

Apparently, he had always wanted his character to die. He lobbied for it hard in Return of the Jedi. So he was willing to come back only if they killed him.

Does Harrison Ford get a golden parachute if he dies on camera?

Does he have a contact like the Rock?

I mean to me he phoned that shit in. Did he actually want the roll or was he trolling them.
