Harrison Ford Attacks The Clones, Says To Future Han Solos: “Don’t Do It”

WARNING: This post contains spoilers, but if you *still* don’t know how Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens ended, then you either don’t belong on the internet or are a demi-god. 

 
We good?
The search for a young Han Solo to appear in a new, stand-alone film is well under way, with Disney‘s shortlist reportedly including Logan Lerman (Noah), Dave Franco (Now You See Me; younger brother of James), Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars), Miles Teller (The Fantastic Four), Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Emory Cohen (Brooklyn), Scott Eastwood (Suicide Squad) and Blake Jenner (Glee).

There’s a natural inclination to know what Harrison Ford, as the man who embodied this most-famous character for several decades, thinks of the selection. Thus far he’s remained pretty tight-lipped on the whole thing, but in a recent appearance on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show‘ he *did* have one piece of advice for potential Solos: “Don’t do it.”

Placing his tongue firmly inside his cheek, he told Ellen:

“It seems like everything is going swimmingly and you put in 25–30 years and then they just let you go! We’re done with you, thanks very much.”

Likely possibility: he’s jokingly referring to the fact that his character was brutally and callously murdered died at the end of the last one.


Unlikely, but infinitely more entertaining possibility: he just low-key shaded Star Wars for reintroducing a character he’s been trying to kill off for most of his career.
Likelihood of us finding out: zilch.
Anyway, here’s the clip, go forth and judge.
