From his first appearance to his surprise return in the sequel trilogy, Star WarsHarrison Ford’s presence has been a constant source of excitement and nostalgia for fans of the series. His brilliant acting and improvisation have often resulted in some of the best scenes of all time. One scene in particular, from the blockbuster the force awakensis also the result of an improvisation that ended up becoming one of the best scenes in the film.

Ford’s Han Solo Surprisingly Returns in Sequel Trilogy The force awakens. One thing leads to another and Chewie, Han, Rey, and Finn leave Starkiller Base. After saving Rey, as soon as they enter the ship, Chewie gives Solo back the jacket he had thrown away earlier. This elicited the most disconcerting reaction from Ford, who was genuinely shocked by his co-star’s improvisation.

Joonas Suotamo, the actor who played Chewbacca, later said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:

I’m pretty sure I improvised that. I gave Han the jacket, and then JJ thought about it and realized, “Oh yeah, he has to have the jacket since we’re going outside.” So she stayed inside, and I was really happy about that… I’m really proud of that scene, and I’m so glad you noticed. It’s so funny that Chewbacca is worried about Han’s jacket.

Friends for over 40 years, this scene shows the closeness and care Han Solo and Chewie have for each other. Despite the improvisation and the hilarious element, this scene remains essential to Solo and Chewie’s fun friendship over the years.

Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford, is a beloved member of the Star Wars and reprised his role several times throughout his decades-long career. Having received immense fame and praise for his role as Solo, and the role giving him a significant boost, Ford became one of the greatest actors of all time thanks to his role in the franchise.

Ford’s Solo, however, met a tragic end in the force awakensafter Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver, brutally killed him. But surprisingly, Ford wasn’t shocked or upset, as he had wanted Solo to die long before the film ended him. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Ford noted:

I campaigned for 30 years to get this done the way it should be and finally I got it done. I thought Han Solo had to die.

Over the years, the actor has made similar comments (see Den of Geek and THR ) on multiple occasions. Ford wasn’t bored or tired of playing him, he just wanted the best for his character. And the best part was that Han Solo sacrificed himself for a noble cause, bringing gravitas to the narrative and adding depth to his character’s legacy.

Even if fans might disagree, after playing Han Solo for several years, Harrison Ford knows he made the right decision.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens can be streamed on Disney+.
