MTV continued to ask questions about the new installment and Ford decided to reveal his admiration for direct J.J Abrams. He said, "I think he's a great storyteller. He's developed an enormous filmmaking skill. I think it's a daunting project and he's the kind of guy that can take on huge challenges and deliver... He's an awful nice guy."
Ford is in San Diego to promote his new film 'Ender's Game." However fans are more interested in his return to "Star Wars." During the panel to "Ender's Game," fans approached him with questions about Hans Solo. One asked him if Solo would make a good soldier for Col. Hyrum Graff, the character Ford plays in "Ender's Game."
The actor responded, "You know, you and I have a lot in common. I used to dream about being Indiana Jones when I was younger. Not so much anymore. I don't think Han Solo would be good as a soldier in anybody's army. I think he's what we call now an independent contractor."
