    Ford looks quite Indyish in that photo. Get moving on the film before he gets back to his real life daredevil hobbies again

    I don’t know what happened with Ford and Force Awakens but wow. He’s doing silly fun Lego video games? It’s like HE’S “Awakened” and isn’t grumpy anymore. The press tours, now this… he’s been going above and beyond supporting Star Wars and Han Solo and it really shows. If he’s found some joy again, I’m happy for him.

      I don’t want to break up the narrative but I am sure it was contractually obligated for him to do the game. Though he has been more willing to do promotions for TFA. I am sure it’s because he knew it was his last one.

        He’s Harrison Ford, he could’ve done or not done the game if he didn’t want to. They wanted him in Force Awakens so bad, he could’ve told them to pound sand about anything else and they’d have agreed to it. No way he does that game if he didn’t want to.

          He could have, but we don’t know for certain. Forgive me for a cynic about the guy who has publicly distanced himself from the franchise to suddenly like the Grinch have his heart grow 3 sizes.

    I’m only on chapter 3 but loving the game so far. I feel like I’m part of the Star Wars universe interacting with the characters and the added humor is icing. I bought mine on Steam for PC. Cheaper and has 4k resolution options.

    I plan on buying the game eventually but I was able to look on youtube and see how they Han’s death. It wasn’t watered down too much and there was just enough humor in it to make it fit in within the universe.
