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.

Physically, the guy is in his 70s so probably doesn't want to endure the strenuous day to day grind of a big budget production any longer than he has to. He broke his leg on set during filming of TFA and from the story surrounding that, it sounded as if it could've been a lot worse than it ended up being.

I thought TFA was a good send off for the character. Glad he put some effort into it this time around instead of just going through the motions and mumbling, shivering and pointing his way through a performance like he had been doing for years and years.
