Harrison Ford has been adamant that he will not talk about "Star Wars Episode 7."
In his latest show of defiance, the actor acted up during his appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Kimmel asked Ford about "Star wars" and the actor reacted with hesitance about answering any questions. Kimmel then turned the floor to audience questions. The first audience member held a lightsaber and was dressed like a Jedi. He asked Ford if he liked making movies. The second audience member was dressed up like Princess Leia and asked him if he was hungry. A despondent Ford answered "No." The third member was dressed up as a Chewbacca. Ford proceeded to call "Chewie" a number of expletives before eventually running off stage. As he stormed off he delivered one of Han Solo's famous lines: "I'll see you in hell." It turned out to be a stunt, but was a clear intention to poke fun at Ford's resistance to talk about his involvement in Star Wars.
Ford recently told USA Today that he was remaining quiet because, "If someone says 'Trust me', and it's not a sushi chef in a sushi bar, I'm immediately suspicious. I'm not a faith-based actor."
His former co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have been more open about returning to the franchise. "They're talking to us [ about returning]," Hamill said during an interview a few months ago. "George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts - they would write us out. ... I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any contracts. We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm. Both have had meetings set that were postponed -- on their end, not mine. They're more busy than I am."
"Star Wars Episode 7" was recently confirmed for a 2015 release date.
