If you haven't see Star Wars: The Force Awakens — and this is Harrison Ford's second time on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the months-old blockbuster — there are spoilers in the clip below, and in this introduction to it. You've been warned.
"I argued for 30 years for this to happen," Ford said of Han Solo's demise in the film. "And finally, I wore 'em down." Jimmy Kimmel asked the obvious follow-up: "So you won't be in any of the other movies, or Han Solo won't be in any of the other movies?" But Ford quickly interjected: "Who said that?" then tried to shift the conversation, but Kimmel sensed he was on to something. "Do you know if the character Han Solo will continue, or do you not know?" he asked. Ford locked up his lips, threw away the key, and did some other weird hand signals, before talking about reverse mortgages. You can try to glean clues, or just watch Ford get freaked out at Kimmel's guest-entrance hatch, in the video below. Peter Weber
