Harrison Ford On Who Would Win In A Fight Between Han Solo And Indiana Jones: "I Don’t Want To Fucking Make Shit Up Like That."
Esquire did an amazing profile on Harrison Ford this week ahead of 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' hitting theaters on June 30th - and when discussing Star Wars, Ford said the question he usually gets from a 'superfan' is "Who would win in a fight between Han Solo and Indiana Jones?"
His response? Quite possibly the most Harrison Ford answer you could ever ask for....
"Me, asshole! I don't want to fucking make shit up like that. I mean, what are you asking me that crap for?"
Of course that's his answer! I mean, what do you expect from this guy?! He was asking for Han to be killed off all the way back in 1983 and hasn't exactly been known as the BIGGEST Star Wars fan in the galaxy in the years since….
When asked if Han Solo was present as a Force Ghost or vision in 'The Rise of Skywalker', he answered: "A Force Ghost? I don’t know what a Force Ghost is. Don’t tell anyone. I have no fucking idea what a Force Ghost is - and I don’t care!"
So this attitude isn't new by any stretch of the imagination, and honestly - Star Wars fans only love him more after he says all of this shit.
It's almost like Oasis fans getting off on Liam and Noel trashing each other; sure, we disagree with the content of what they're saying sometimes, but this is like watching a master at work. This is a guy who had the personality of an old man about 20 years prior to actually getting old, but then grew into his grouchy ways magnificently. It was like he was born to be a crotchety old man.
Ford's "Get the fuck out of my house" reaction to this David Blaine trick is one of my all time favorites….
Harrison Ford is just everyone's favorite grumpy grandpa. That's why we love him! Stop asking him that nerd shit, though.
P.S. Han would win. He shoots first. Duh.
P.P.S. It's not canon but there's a short comic from 2004 called 'Into the Great Unknown' where the characters kinda crossover.
Han and Chewie crash the Falcon into Earth, and Han is killed by Native Americans - and then Indiana Jones encounters his skeleton 126 years later while on the hunt for the sasquatch….AKA Chewbacca.
P.P.P.S. Harrison has been playing into the Star Wars "hate" for years and it's made for some great late night talk show bits….
