Harrison Ford talks STAR WARS and his plane crash with Jimmy Kimmel… in a hot dog costume

Harrison Ford has been pretty quiet since his rather dangerous plane crash, and has avoided most interviews since filming STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS. Leave it to Jimmy Kimmel to get him to open up a little about both, and with Halloween happening this weekend he also got Ford to show up for his interview in costume… a hot dog costume. No real reason for that, just funny I guess, but it is rather amusing to see Kimmel asking questions while dressed as Princess Leia. They also discuss the injury Harrison received on set, the long-running myth that he asked for Han Solo to be killed off in the original trilogy, and whether or not he’d see these movies if he wasn’t in them. So you know, Ford very smartly doesn’t say much about shooting the new STAR WARS, but does have some nice words to allow on both George Lucas and JJ Abrams, and even compliments the new cast members Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac. But seriously, this is worth watching just for the hod dog costume.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS opens December 18, 2015
