The big rumor circling Star Wars this week is that Harrison Ford might be returning to reprise the role of Han Solo. The famous actor known for his iconic acting roles in films such as Indiana Jones, Air Force One, and Witness brought some comic relief, rather sarcastic comic relief to a universe gripped in a war between two sides.
While Han Solo was unfortunately killed in The Force Awakens that doesn’t mean he can’t make appearances elsewhere. We have already seen Han in his youth in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
But this source specifically mentioned by Inside The Magic, states that Han Solo will possibly return in either Season 3 of The Mandalorian or the upcoming The Book of Boba Fett. To be fair this sounds plausible.
Luke Skywalker has already made an appearance during the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian so whose to say Han Solo, Chewbacca or even Princess Leia can’t as well? We don’t really know much about Han and Leia’s relationship, at least speaking in terms of the Star Wars films.
Is Harrison Ford returning to Star Wars as Han Solo once again?
After Return of the Jedi, we know they fall in love, have Ben Solo together, Leia trains to be a Jedi with Luke but that’s it. Their relationship doesn’t work out, understandably, but we don’t know much about the relationship, to begin with.
I don’t see how much of that aspect we’d see in either Disney Plus series outside of a reference or two. But maybe we’ll see what crazy situations he gets himself into.
Maybe we’ll see him meet Boba Fett again after he escapes the Sarlacc pit? Maybe we’ll see him working on something completely different, if at all.
But until then it’s fun to think of what other original Star Wars characters will appear in the several Disney Plus Star Wars series.
Which Star Wars characters would you like to see return to the franchise? Comment your answers below, I’d love to read them!
