Harrison only came back to have Han killed. Said it many times in interviews

See, he could have just said "no," but the professional hater energy took over like a giant, glowing erection.

Respect.

"Professional hater energy" is a funny way to say "paycheck"

Dude is sitting on like a third of a billion net worth. He doesn't need a paycheck.

Didn't Harrison want Han to die way back in RotJ?

Jarix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 12d

Yes

Yes and no, he originally wanted to die in Empire Strikes back, which is why they froze him.

Ford should have tried harder; death didn't stop his character from coming back again in Temu Dark Empire.

I was at a party not long before this movie came out and was talking with a friend about how we're trying to avoid spoilers for this movie (back when we actually had an open mind jarjar abrams could make a decent movie despite doing shitty star trek movies) and he'd mentioned some already spoiled it on reddit/imgur and he was kinda pissed. His wife was standing with us and she inadvertently said "Yeah, it's not like I killed Han Solo" and within half a second she realized what she just did. She sulked into the foyer and hid in the coat closet for a minute.

I razzed her about it for a while, but when I did finally go see it it really wasn't as much of a spoiler because that scene was so hamfisted and blatant that they may as well have included a countdown timer on screen.
