If you want to know what happens in the hotly anticipated, closely guarded Star Wars movie coming out in December, don't ask Han Solo. Jimmy Kimmel, in costume as Princess Leia, tried on Thursday's Kimmel Live, peppering Harrison Ford — dressed as a hot dog — with questions about The Force Awakens. After Ford stonewalled him for a bit, explaining he wants the audience to be surprised in the theater, Kimmel threw a Hail Mary: "Wouldn't it be funny if after all this excitement, all this anticipation, if right now you just tell us what happens from beginning to the end of the movie?"

It would not. "I can tell you this: It's really, really good," Ford said. "You will not be disappointed, at all." Kimmel said he has heard that from other people in the know, also. He may not be able to talk about the new Star Wars movie (other than to praise it), but Ford did tell Kimmel why he asked for Han Solo to be killed off in the first Star War movies. Watch below.
