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.
He wasn't wrong.
Need to pull the plug already and shelf this horseshit the franchise has been forced to devolve into
Went from having six films, origin story comics, prequel/sequels with Bane and continued stories with future characters, and everything in between to this
A zombiefied franchise that infects just a select bit of Star Wars with the virus so as to keep the most profitable parts moving with an unnatural gate towards enshittification and profits
If you don't think pre-Disney Star Wars EU was worse than what Disney's done, you either have cognitive dissonance from buying a hundred bad pulp novels or you never read them.
The sequels have palpatine "somehow return" via cloning, while the EU justified Sheev building death weapons because of extra-galactic anti-force bugs.
Old EU had its bad points; it was basically commercial fan fiction after all. However, there were some really good stories in there too. A much better ratio of good to bad than Disney has managed.
I'm so glad they destroyed the old EU just to replace it with the exact same stupid shit but done worse.
Disney didn't exactly catch lightning the last time either! And Han Solo is dead, what can they need Ford for?
"Somehow Han Solo returned. And he has taken a sith apprentice."
And they have a big space gun!
It's the death star, but it's an actual star!
Sith Jar-Jar of course
This was referring to the sequel trilogy already released.
There’s a video on YouTube which is a compilation of Mark Hamill interview moments where he was slyly trying to warn everyone about issues with the Sequels.
I remember seeing a video review for TROS, and it opened with the main cast, JJ, and Kathleen Kennedy on Encore. The question was "without saying anything, what would your reaction to the ending of the movie be?"
~~Ian McDiarmid~~ Anthony Daniels immediately went to a shocked/horrified face, Mark Hamill put his head in his hands, I think John Boyega and Oscar Isaac both just nod their heads sarcastically, and Daisy Ridley has this look of "what the fuck?" JJ just turned around and this look of shock came over him like he honestly couldn't believe they thought it was that bad.
I'm sure his wallet didn't think it was a mistake.
