What's up?
00:00:24
And welcome to another episode of Exotics Encyclopedia of Force Facts.
00:00:30
This week is going to be about Harrison Ford.
00:00:34
He was originally frozen in the Empire Strikes Back because he only signed a two picture
00:00:40
deal so they didn't think after his success on the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones, that he was
00:00:45
going to come back for the third movie.
00:00:47
So that's why at the end of Empire Strikes Back they don't unfreeze him and they wait
00:00:49
until the turn of the Jedi to actually unfreeze him.
00:00:52
Just in case.
00:00:53
Yeah, that was actually one that I knew.
00:00:55
I'm proud of myself for that one.
00:00:56
Yeah, I thought that the whole like contract thing, I'm glad that like it ended up getting
00:01:00
sorted to where he could come back and return to the Jedi.
00:01:03
I'm pretty sure they were going to wait as long as they had to to get him to come back
00:01:06
because the story just gets so weird if you write out Han Solo at that point or kill him
00:01:11
off or something.
00:01:12
Yeah, I mean, Han was like a big attraction as a character.
00:01:16
Yeah, them bitches loved fucking Harrison Ford back then.
00:01:19
And I'm sure the cast wanted him back.
00:01:21
I mean, he was the dealer.
00:01:22
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
00:01:23
Shit.
00:01:24
Haha, new dope.
00:01:25
Yeah, I always wondered why like some of the first scenes in the Return of the Jedi was
00:01:30
them just going to unfreeze Han Solo.
00:01:32
It was such a big deal.
00:01:33
I mean, shit, we we never would have got I love you.
00:01:36
I know that was Empire Strikes Back.
00:01:38
Was it?
00:01:39
Yes.
00:01:40
That's before he gets frozen.
00:01:41
And then she she said they just switches in the in the second or in the third movie.
00:01:45
And there was a possibility that we didn't get Carrie Fisher in her best costume.
00:01:49
You don't think they would have worked that in there?
00:01:51
I mean, that whole like scenario is set up just because they went to go save Han.
00:01:55
I am sure I'm absolutely sure they would have found a way to get Leia in that outfit.
00:02:00
I guess we'll never know.
00:02:01
