Harrison Ford Shuts Down ‘Star Wars’ Question
- Thread starter jukeboxhero2396
- Start date
Ironically, I don't think that has been the case either. I bought a magazine in the mid 90s featuring an interview with Harrison, I can't for the life of me remember what magazine it was. But him commenting on Indy was on the cover and was the reason why I bought it, and the question was to the effect of "Will you ever dig the whip and hat out of the closet and play Indy again?" And he was totally not interested.
Imagine my surprise when they released that Crystal Skull announcement video with Spielberg, Karen, and him many years later and he was all smiles about playing Indy again.
I didn't know it was a shtick at first. My opinion has been completely reversed after this thread.
video reminded me that gwen was COMPLETELY WASTED in the new trilogy and now I'm sad again.
That's the real tragedy of these movies, not any of the kylo or rey bullshit :(
Fair enough, I can see if you're just seeing one of these instances that he'd come across as an asshole
Harrison Ford is a national treasure. I will never stop loving all the shade he throws at these movies. It's so great.
I have no problem with this. An actors job is to act, they have no obligation to care or pretend to care about the dumb nerd shit they're paid to be a part of, at least beyond the press tour BS.
I mean the best part of this is that he does this stuff on the press tours.
That's interesting. Clearly something changed because here he is planning to pick up the whip again for an Indy 5.
I don't think he ever said "I don't Star Wars". Not sure what you're talking about here but he clearly knows he's just an actor and it's not important for him to pay attention to lore or give the movies any more thought than is required. He also probably likes easy money, so doing a scene for money seems logical.
Meanwhile ol' Alec Guinness wanted to burn it all down daily...
Oh yeah, before anyone wants to come down too hard on Harrison, lets bear in mind that, according to legend, Alec Guinness actively made a child cry with the weight of his sheer contempt for Star Wars.
What a boring life it must be when you use communication as a rigid way of interacting. Communication can be fun and flexible if you let it.
Hey Ninja, stop procrastinating and get back to your streaming.
That was me paraphrasing Ford's flippant attitude towards nerddom.
That's the thing. You don't need to know the lore to be able to parse what a "Force Ghost" is. It's incredibly simple. Him "not knowing" the lore of Force Ghosts implies that he knows that there's lore to not know. His statement of ignorance betrays his actual knowledge of the subject.
True ignorance would've assumed that a Force Ghost is just... a ghost.
I wish I could interview Harrison Ford.
I'd show up with a huge ass Star Wars shirt and then I wouldn't ask him a fucking thing about the goddamn movies.
Seriously though, I do celebrity interviews for a living (wish I could get to ask stuff to actors like him) and I take them very seriously, can't help but wince when I see interviewers trying to be cute/smart. Do your fucking job.

Can't blame him for wanting to distance himself from the Star Wars fandom, tbh.
Not being as gracious as two very different people with two very different careers doesn't make me personally view his response any differently. He's had to face the same shit for 40 years and doesn't give a fuck. No judgement from me.
Star Wars: we love you
Harrison Thanos: I don't even know who you are.
I do love him though and his disdain whether faux or genuine. It's always funny and he knows it either way, which is why he is so good.

He gave the same response to a question relating to the original trilogy too. So the original trilogy is trash too.
Well technically, with Boyega, fans would know he's lying since Boyega 100% knows what a Force ghost is.
