There's this story that Mark Hammil tells about being on the set of Star Wars and he mentions to Harrison Ford that their hair should be wet, since it was just wet in the previous scene.
And Ford says something like, "This ain't that kind of movie, kid. If the audience is talking about our hair, something has already gone wrong."
I actually really like that line. I remember watching the latest Star Wars trilogy and just nitpicking. I'm not a super fan, I don't even own anything Star Wars. But, the movies kept pulling out stupid takes that my suspension of disbelief was gone and I kept focusing on hyper details.
I also like that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.
Please remember that Star Wars was released in 1977. It absolutely blew people's minds because they were doing something that nobody had ever seen before, to an audience that was just perfectly ripe for receiving it. It would have been impossible for them to cover every single base, when they were doing such ground breaking things, you kind of have to see it in the light of that, like you would watch Metropolis by Fritz Lang, or Nosferatu.
You can't nitpick it the same way you can Marvel slop in 2026, there was so many ground breaking things, most of all it was a genuinely alien experience because we hadn't really seen such a well designed intergalactic society and world building before, that all the minor stuff is just afterthoughts to what the greater story was.
It's like finding flaws in a renaissance painting, or the Iliad, or classical opera- which is a fitting comparison considering SW is the definition of space opera, down to containing one of the most genuinely masterful, memorable, and well crafted scores of all time.
Mark Hammil does an excellent Harrison Ford impression, so there's a possibility that the "kid" is part of the impression, rather than a direct quote. Also, I was doing the quote from memory, so I might have remembered it wrong.
But I also like the thought that Harrison Ford calls everyone kid.
He is the one to pull it off every single time with perfect naturalness.
Ford's attitude about the films has always just pissed me off. If you don't like something, which you clearly don't, why you do it in the first place?
Hell, I'd argue his career wouldn't be what it became without star wars and he should at least be able to acknowledge that.
He always just comes off as "I'm better than you, I'm better than this franchise, I'm better than anything"
Christopher Eccleston famously hated Dr who, and he never seems to say a negative thing about it. Plenty of MCU actors hate the MCU, they don't talk shit, and I can't see them talking shit about them for several decades either.
its my understanding that he hated Russell T Davis because Davis was abusive to the staff.
MCU is genuinely mass market slop though. I cannot believe people watch that drivel, and I judge people who do. That's all I have to say on the matter, good day, Sir, I SAID GOOD DAY.
it paid more than carpentry. No, really.
dumptrucks of money.
Which is why sigourney weaver kept making aliens movies
And fucking ACED every one of them.
That's the sign of a consummate professional. You show up and you do it anyway, and you nail it.
Famously, Agatha Christie hated Hercule Poirot, yet she still wrote him into some of the best detective stories in the world.
Yep. I find it interesting, too, that the first appearance of ford is in some western tv show from 1967.... it took a full decade for him to become a real star. meanwhile he worked on FFC's cabinets lol
Ah but carpentry is rewarded in the kingdom of heaven.
yeah, if you're really lucky people will notice you and you'll nail your big debut
Hahahahahaha
Ford struggled with anxiety and imposter syndrome early on, and developed his tough, flippant exterior around that as a coping mechanism. So there are a lot of stories about him saying callous, tough guy things. But he's quite a softie who really loves the art of acting, so I don't think he's really dismissing everything and everyone outright.
I mean I don't love my job but I keep showing up for the paycheck.
I hate my job and I don't even have a job.
And you probably do a good job, just like Ford (although I've never seen a single star wars movie and it's going to stay that way).
I think Ford's attitude is similar to Guinness' attitude - it's not that he hates Star Wars, it's that he hates that it's completely overshadowed his other work and nobody ever talks to him about any other part of his career.
