Harrison Ford Turned Down Han Solo Role
eldavojohn writes "It's being widely reported that Harrison Ford turned down a £20 million deal to play Han Solo once again in a George Lucas spin off of Star Wars. The source of this information seems to be a tabloid called bangshowbiz. Harrison was approached by Lucas with two roles but instead opted for the same amount to play Indiana Jones for the fourth time. Could the spin off centered on the rugged Han Solo save the Star Wars franchise from its prequels or would it have been another mediocre release disappointing demanding fans?"
The major problem with Star Wars is the fact that George Lucas is poor writer and a mediocre director. He is however, an excellent ideas man. If he was to think of another movie plot and then delegated the bulk of the writing and directing, I think the resulting film would be quite good. But I am no longer willing to subject myself to anything written and directed by him.
A game has objectives and is competitive, anything else is just play
Harrison Ford is American, right? So I assume that he spends most of his time in the USA... So what the hell is he going to do with £20 million British pounds in America? Maybe he's do it if he were to be offered some spendable American dollars... duh!!!
