He seems appreciative that SW was his big break but, at the same time always anxious to do other things and move on from SW. Nothing wrong with that. He still shows up at SW-related things so its not as if he doesn't acknowledge that he was a part of it.
I know we all love SW but, sometimes we have to keep in mind that to some of these people that were involved, it is just a job to them...a means to an end. And thats kind of the impression I get from Ford.

He doesn't see his job as a means to an end, he sees it as a job. He talks about this quite a but. He does the work, he gets paid, his obligation ends there and he is perfectly right.

If he really feels that way he shouldn't have come back at all. Star Wars has a legacy now, compared to when he was cast. There are things you have to be a part of when you sign on, the newcomers understand this. Is it written anywhere? No, but look at the others like Hamill and Fisher, they understand how much it means to people. There's an entire convention around Star Wars. My rule of thumb is if you're not passionate about it, you shouldn't be involved. Steve Jobs felt similarly, and would fire people who were really skilled and good at their jobs because they didn't care about Apple's vision.

You should be grateful he does come back an interact with fans, not upset that he doesn't see Star Wars as anything but what it was to him. He's going above and beyond really, they all do. Some of the others might be more enthusiastic about it and that is their prerogative, not something to punish Ford over.
When Ford signed on there was no Star Wars phenomenon and many people thought the film would fail, you can't hold him to some kind of obligation of ongoing support that he never entered in to just because something he did became extremely popular.

"above and beyond" are strong words.
I don't need to be grateful. He came to Celebration once because Carrie died, and he came back to SW to kill his character. I'm not preaching anything new here, most SW fans know he doesn't really give a shit about the franchise. He doesn't even like his character much. So I don't see what you're trying to get at here.

He gets paid to do a job, act. Sometimes that involves press tours and other promotional activities. Beyond that he has no kind of obligation at all. Anything he does beyond that is going above and beyond.

To be honest, I would've been really surprised if Han survived TFA...you have the 2 people who championed for him to die in Jedi(Ford and Kasden) involved with the movie and the one person keeping them from killing him off (Lucas) not involved at all. |

Harrison Ford is a crotchety old man who's nothing more than a glorified asshole. We shouldn't even waste the energy we have been talking about him.

Probably something that will differ from area to area, she is as equally packed as Luke and Ben so it comes down to collectors in the area to determine who among those three will be harder to find.

Was hoping for the Grand Inquisitor but since that's not an option I went with Doctor Aphra.

I got my 6" scale R2!!! Sadly I was only able to get one through HTS (seriously a limit of 1 R2 which is meant to be a mass retail release per household but I could get 2 of the convention exclusive figure?!) so my brother has to keep hunting.

It's strange, because the design would lead you to believe he could.

But these aren't the movies, these are toys. They should move. So glad I'm getting the Figuarts now.
