"I thought that the luck of the character was that he represented something close to the audience's sensibilities because of his distance and resistance to the mythology." -- HARRISON FORD on his portrayal of Han Solo
"When casting the role of Solo, Lucas sought actors who had individual screen presence as well as chemistry with Skywalker. He wanted Solo to be older than Skywalker and to possess a cynical edge. Lucas desired new and unknown actors to play STAR WAR's major roles, and originally forbade Harrison Ford from auditioning, having worked with him on the 1973 film "American Graffiti." Ford was working as a carpenter on the set of the auditions, and was brought in by Lucas to feed lines to the actors who were auditioning, including Kurt Russell, including Kurt Russell, Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, and Perry King. While feeding lines, Ford impressed Lucas by giving the character a mix of mercenary swagger and world weariness, and convinced the director to let him play the part."
