STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS - Han Solo is Still a Rogue and Not an Obi-Wan Kenobi Type



Entertainment Weekly recently spoke with Harrison Ford about his return to the role which made his career into one of Hollywood's most bankable actors. Ford returns to a galaxy far, far away in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, but he is definitely not an Obi-Wan Kenobi type in the new movie.

“He does not aspire to the position of Obi-‘Ben’ Kenobi, nor do I aspire to be some New Age Alec Guinness. His development is consistent with the character, and there are emotional elements which have occasioned his growth.”

Ford, then, teases Han in the film just a tiny bit more.

“We spend a lot more time [in the movie] on his failure to master basic skills, like accounting... for his own behavior. There’s a lot of the rogue still left in Solo. Some things don’t change.”

An older, but a little bit wiser rogue? Fans will have to wait and see when STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS releases on December 18.
