Like the Millennium Falcon speeding through an asteroid field – Harrison Ford dodged Star Wars sequel questions from “devoted” fans in the audience at Jimmy Kimmel Live. Ford was promoting his new film 42 the Jackie Robinson story but Jimmy’s plan to stage a Star Wars reunion backfired and Ford left the set.
Take a look:
You can watch more of Ford on Jimmy Kimmel Live on YouTube. The Force wasn’t with Jimmy on this mission to get scoop from Ford but we enjoyed a hilarious moment!

A long time ago in a cinema far far away…
Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw on the big screen in a theater. I was so young (Tusken Raiders freaked me out!) and I don’t think my parents understood everything going on in the movie but I fell in love with sci-fi, heroes, aliens and starships. Every time there are rumblings or confirmed reports of remasterings, prequels, sequels or spinoffs I sense a disturbance in The Force. I feel excitement and trepidation but I never stop believing. For me the characters will endure just like young Anakin and Aksoka will for a younger generation. I’ve been reluctant to report on the rumors and join in the casting calls and calls for or against spinoffs but like the dark side it’s just so tempting!
I felt compelled to share by thoughts on Han Solo, then now and forever:
Star Wars Sequel: I’m thrilled with the (rumors) that Harrison Ford may reprise his role as Han Solo in Star Wars Episode VII. I think Han probably married Leia, tried to be a good husband, father and leader in the New Republic but always yearned for freedom and adventure. I think Han tried but failed Continue reading STAR WARS Han Solo Speculation
Alcon Entertainment denies reports of Harrison Ford joining their new Blade Runner film. Sites were buzzing with the rumor that Ford was in early talks to reprise his role as replicant ‘retirement’ specialist Rick Deckard for director Ridley Scott.
“It is absolutely patently false that there has been any discussion about Harrison Ford being in Blade Runner. To be clear, what we are trying to do with Ridley now is go through the painstaking process of trying to break the back of the story, figure out the direction we’re going to take the movie and find a writer to work on it. The casting of the movie could not be further from our minds at this moment,” said Andrew Kosove.
Asked if Ford could re-appear, Kosove says “In advance of knowing what we’re going to do, I supposed you could say yes, he could. But I think it is quite unlikely.” He goes on to say “What Ridley does in Prometheus is a good template for what we’re trying to do. He created something that has some association to the original Alien, but lives on its own as a standalone movie.”
Thanks to Deadline for the update.
A friend asked me what kind of new Blade Runner film I wanted to see. It would be fascinating to see the development of the Tyrell Corporation, the replicants and formation of the Blade Runner units.
The unthinkable is happening again. Ridley Scott revolutionized the science fiction genre with Alien and Blade Runner. The countdown is on for Prometheus, the sequel that evolved into something new with Alien DNA. The cast is entirely new. Scott committed to a new film set in the Blade Runner universe – will Harrison Ford be joining him?
Twitchfilm reports that “Harrison Ford has entered early talks to join the new Blade Runner. While it is in the early stages and it is quite possible that it won’t work out…”
Harrison Ford played Rick Deckard, a Blade Runner, a special police officer charged with “retiring” replicants – artificial beings. If Ford is involved can he still play Deckard given the ending/themes of the first film? I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so that’s all I will say.
Boom Studios publishes beautiful a graphic novel version of the Phillip K. Dick story”Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep” the basis for Blade Runner.
For the fascinated fan – here’s two recommendations from this obsessive fan!
Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner is a compelling behind the scenes story of how this influential Science Fiction classic was made.
Blade Runner: The 5 Disc Ultimate Collector’s Edition features all versions of the film and rich documentaries.
Thanks to Dark Horizons for the story.
