Older, wiser Han Solo is still a rogue: Harrison Ford

Actor Harrison Ford says with age, his Star Wars franchise character Han Solo has become wiser and is still the roguish character people loved in George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy.

In 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm and announced three new Star Wars films, with the first movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, planned for release on December 18, 2015.

The 73-year-old veteran actor, who received worldwide fame for his role as Han Solo in the original epic space opera trilogy, said the growth of the character is consistent and that will be visible in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, reported Entertainment Weekly. “No, there’s not an abandoning of the character. He does not aspire to the position of Obi-’Ben’ Kenobi, nor do I aspire to be some New Age Alec Guinness. His development is consistent with the character, and there are emotional elements, which have occasioned his growth.
