How Harrison Ford Landed the Role of Han Solo?
Before Harrison Ford landed the role of Han Solo in the originalStar Warstrilogy, he had small parts in multiple TV shows and movies. Around the same time, he also worked as a carpenter and got the opportunity to work with George Lucas in the 1973 filmAmerican Graffiti.
Although he did not have many dialogues in the movie, it did give his acting career the boost it needed, and he landed a small role in Francis Ford Coppola’sThe Conversation. However, George Lucas didn’t allow him to audition for the movie, as he reportedly did not want to feature any familiar face he had already worked with.
But as Ford read lines alongside the actors who auditioned for the role, Lucas found him way better and offered him the role of Han Solo. During an interview withCNN, Ford shared that if he wasn’t chosen for the role,“the other Han Solo would have been Chris (Christopher) Walken.” And theBlade Runnerstar also said that it would have been fantastic.
TheStar Warsfranchise is available on Disney+.
