Soloheld its world premiere on Thursday evening in Hollywood. The event hosted numerous special guests including Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams, butHarrison Fordwas nowhere to be found. That really wasn’t much of a shock to anybody who knows about Ford’s dislike of talking aboutStar Wars. So, it was pretty shocking to just about everybody, including Alden Ehrenreich, when Harrison Ford crashed theSolopress junket while Ehrenreich was in mid-sentence.
In a video clip, Harrison Ford, along with director Ron Howard, can be seen sneaking up behindAlden Ehrenreichwhile he’s being interviewed by Entertainment Tonight. Ehrenreich was in mid-sentencetalking about the advice that Ford gave himwhen the original Han Solo interrupts him saying, “Get out my chair!” Ehrenreich is truly shocked as he stands up to hear Harrison Ford jokingly yell, “Get out of my life!” The two Han Solos then embrace and it’s a pretty powerful moment forStar Warsfans, who believed that Ford would stay far, far away fromSolo.
Entertainment Tonight shared the teaser of the video and promises that the full interview will be released tomorrow, which is Sunday, May 13th. Has Harrison Ford seenSolo? That’s the question on the minds of a lot of fans at the moment. Many were under the belief that there was no way in hell that Ford was going to sit throughSolo, but that may have changed as witnessed in the new video. When theStar Warsspin-off was originally announced, many fans didn’t want to have anything to do with the movie. Adding to that, the production of the project didn’t run so smooth, leading to intense speculation about Alden Ehrenreich’s acting abilities.
As it turns out, the early reactions forSolo: A Star Wars Storyhave been immensely positive and many are quick to say that Alden Ehrenreich’s young Han Solo is right on the money. It was believed that Donald Glover’s Lando was going to steal the show, but recent reports suggest that he isn’t as good asEhrenreich is nailing the essence of the character. The two young actors had huge shoes to fill, but original Lando Billy Dee Williams has given his blessings and it appears that Harrison Ford has done the same.
Casting director, Fred Roos, was actually the one who cast Harrison Ford as Han Solo in the firstStar Warsmovie and is also responsible for casting Alden Ehrenreich forSolo, giving him the rare distinction of casting two Solos for theStar Warsuniverse. It will be interesting to find out if Ford actually watched all ofSolo, givenhis attitude towards the franchiseover the years. But, this is a little different for Ford. This is a younger actor taking over to play one of the most iconic characters in cinematic history. you’re able to watch the video of Harrison Ford crashing Alden Ehrenreich’s interview below, thanks to theAlden Ehrenreich News Twitteraccount.
