Jedi News are reporting some very interesting details on Harrison Ford's very hush hush return to the Star Wars universe. According to them there was a verbal agreement for him to return as Han Solo even before the Disney deal came through, and now the few wrinkles have been ironed out and Ford is a lock to reprise the iconic role. But that's not all -- apparently Ford has signed on to appear as Solo again after Episode VII. Here's the report in full.
Ford wanted to see the synopsis for his character's development over more than just Episode 7. He saw this in August and is happy with the story arc.
Ford wanted a commitment to Indy 5. He did not get this as there is no plot line or script in place. What did happen was an agreement was made wherein an outline would be developed by the end of calendar year 2014, and if all parties can agree to it moving forward, efforts would be made to move on Indy 5 for release before the end of 2016.
Disney wanted a multi film deal with Ford which transcends Episode 7. This has now been agreed.
Obviously until this is official, we have to treat it s rumor..but Jedi News seem to have legit sources. Thoughts?
