I remember reading that interview a while ago and being really disappointed. Even the people who made Star Wars have trouble seeing its greatness, it would seem.

Eventually I shrugged it off and said whatever, but it still kind of annoys me. Given Mr. Ford's comments about wanting Han to have died in Return of the Jedi, I begin to strongly suspect that the only way they lured him back to make Episode 7 was to give him a suitable death for his character.

If that is the case, he might be happy about it, but I certainly won't be.

Ark of the Covenant stuffed full of money delivered to Harrison's house notwithstanding, they could have also promised Han is wiser, not just older now.
