May we all have the same attitude to nonsense fandom disputation as Harrison Ford does , honestly .
One of the unspoiled keep open secrets about Star Wars : The advance of Skywalker was the surprise restoration of another intimate side ( among the , err , many returning intimate facesin thisnostalgia - kitchen - sinkof a movie ) in Han Solo . After his fateful affaire d’honneur with Rey atop the moving ridge - slash ruin of the Death Star II on Kef Bir — Kylo Ren is present by a vision of his deceased father , as he wavers back towards the light side of the Force and start his path to redemption . The moment , like so much of Rise , however , has beenalmost interminably debatedover by fans in the calendar month since dismission : How did Han come back ?

The only better response to this question would’ve been “that’s not how the Force works!”Image: Lucasfilm
For Harrison Ford , there were similar questions when he was first approached . “ When JJ [ Abrams ] asked me to do it , I say , ‘ Are you kid ? I ’m dead ! ’ ” Ford recalled in a new consultation withUSA Today . “ He pronounce , ‘ Sorta dead . you’re able to do this . ’ He had n’t written anything at that time . But he say , ‘ This is extend to be great . ’ So I said okay . If JJ asked you do something , you ’d probably do it too . He ’s a very persuasive guy cable . ”
Ford might have been well-chosen to just show up , but his return key to the extragalactic nebula far , far aside has seen buff turn torigorous discussionof the mechanics of it all . Because , well , that ’s what Star Wars nerd do . astonishingly however , it ’s been a debate over whether or not Han ’s return was either as a figment of Ben ’s imagination , or — admittedly as deadened Star Wars characters are wo nt to do — as a Force Ghost . Which is weird , look at , y’know … Han was n’t Force sensitive .
There ’s so muchwe do n’t really knowabout the mechanism of space champion spectral anatomy — because heavens forbid we know every whit of info about this phantasy world — Star Wars canon does recite us that , at the very least , not only is becoming a spirit within the Force highly backbreaking to do , it ’s a proficiency that requires a mastery and embrace of the Light Side , specifically . Not even the most powerful Sith could become Force Ghosts , which is why people like Palpatine variety ways to extend their natural liveliness , or return through other , more literal means . So the fact we ’ve managed to drag this discussion out for near two months is reasonably phenomenal , even for Star Wars fans . But what ’s Ford ’s take on it all ?

He does n’t handle .
“ A Force ghost ? I do n’t know what a Force shade is , ” Ford said when asked to weigh in . “ Do n’t assure anyone . I ’m not talking loudly enough for your registrar . I have no [ expletive ] idea what a Force wraith is . And I do n’t care ! ”
Which , god , same , Harrison Ford . Honestly , now the real disputation should be is which curse Ford used to verbalise his level ofnot - giving - a - shit - cape . believably ‘ fucking ’ ? God , I hope so .
