Famously, Star Wars and Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford has always been very candid and critical when it comes to answering Star Wars-related questions in interviews. Ford proved this rule yet again when he was asked about his time acting in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.

In an interview ahead of his latest film, Call of the Wild, the Han Solo actor was questioned about his reprisal in Star Wars: Episode IX. He said that the scene served its purpose as a plot point and helped to further develop Adam Driver's Kylo Ren as a character. Moreover, Ford added that acting in another scene with Adam Driver "was great."

He was then asked a more technical question in Star Wars terms. Specifically, he was asked to clarify whether the Han Solo seen in Star Wars: Episode IX was a Force Ghost.

"A Force ghost?" asked Ford. "I don't know what a Force ghost is." Ford then, in a softer tone, reiterated that he doesn't know what a Force ghost is. Further, he added that he doesn't care what a Force ghost is.

Harrison Ford's claim wasn't all too surprising, given that he has traditionally shown apathy, and sometimes dislike, toward elements of the Star Wars franchise. He had previously seemed content with his character being killed off in the Star Wars universe, so it follows that he doesn't care about the technicalities of the Force and whether or not Han Solo was a Force ghost in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker.

In other parts of the Star Wars franchise, Disney has decided it wants more games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. That is, Disney recognizes the importance of single-player Star Wars experiences to gamers and wants to capitalize on it as such. Whether this will come in the form of the rumored Knights of the Old Republic title, a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, or another Star Wars game is unknown. However, as the year progresses and more gaming conferences pass, it is likely that gamers will learn more of the future of the Star Wars video game franchise.

Harrison Ford's Call of the Wild releases in theaters on February 21, 2020.
