Harrison Ford Credits George Lucas For His “Wonderful Career”
Harrison Ford burst onto the Hollywood scene and launched towards superstardom on the back of two George Lucas creations- Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
White Ford has often been publically dismissive of Han Solo, stating that the character was “relatively thin”, and reportedly convincing filmmakers to kill Solo off in the Sequel Trilogy, the actor took a different tone of late.
As Ford gets ready to say goodbye to Indiana Jones, he has taken the time to give credit to Lucas for his career.
“Helped Me Have A Wonderful Career”
In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Ford took note of the fact that Lucas managed to create characters that still resonate 40 years later.
“Well, I didn’t create the characters. George Lucas and the writers created the characters. I’m not a real archeologist. I just play one on TV. So, really what I was given was a gift for any actor, a character with humor and also some brains and some just wonderful adventures to go on with fantastic characters, like the character that Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] plays. So, for me, this is not me, this is me in collaboration with other people. I’m just a part of this. And look, it’s been very important in my career. Because it’s helped me do all the other kinds of films that I enjoy doing. If your films are not successful, there are limitations placed on you. And, this really helped me have a wonderful career.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Harrison Ford is set to reprise his iconic role as Indiana Jones in the upcoming film “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” for one final adventure.
