Is Han Solo Going to Stay Dead? Harrison Ford Says He’s Just “Resting”
Is there a chance Han Solo could come back into the Star Wars universe? Star Wars exists in a universe where anything can happen, so of course it’s possible. If Jon Snow can be brought to life after being brutally murdered in Game of Thrones, then there’s a chance Han Solo could return as well.
Showbiz411 talked to Ford earlier this year and asked him if Han Solo was really dead.
“He’s resting, Is he dead? He’s resting.”
Well, the actor certainly didn’t say that Solo was definitively dead. This was recently pointed out to me by one of our readers. I haven’t seen this quote before, so I thought I’d start a discussion just in case you didn’t see this comment either.
As much as it hurt to see Han Solo die, I think the character should stay dead so that the emotional weight of it carries on through this new trilogy. Of course, if Lucasfilm wanted to bring him back they could find a way.
We’ve heard no information that Ford is involved with Episode VIII, which is currently shooting, but maybe there’s going to eventually be a major surprise? I doubt it, but the fact that Ford says Solo is “just resting” makes me curious. He’s probably just screwing with fans.
What do you think?
