Harrison Ford has always been ambivalent to hostile to the Han Solo role, and famously advocated the character's death in the second sequel to 1977's Star Wars. From what I have heard, the Carbonite plot point in 1979's The Empire Strikes Back was due to a fear that Ford wouldn't return. What if he hadn't? How would Ford's relationship with Lucas be impacted? If Ford makes his decision after production of Raiders would this mean no Indiana Jones franchise? In general what would Ford's career look like had he not appeared in Return of the Jedi? Finally, what would a Fordless Return of the Jedi look like, presuming the Han Solo character isn't recast and does not appear without Ford?
