Harrison Ford Flips Out After Audience Member Asks a ‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ Question

Harrison Ford Star Wars Episode 7ABC

Harrison Ford was a guest on last night’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘ to promote his movie ‘42‘ and naturally the discussion came around to ‘Star Wars: Episode 7‘ and the future of the franchise. Ford tried to stay mum and say he couldn’t talk about anything ‘Star Wars,’ but when he agreed to some questions from the audience, things got heated and Ford walked off the set. Watch video of the incident below.

OK, we can’t keep up the ruse: it was all a bit and Harrison Ford really wasn’t angry, but this is a funny video regardless. We don’t want to give away the punchline but after “answering some questions” from ‘Star Wars’ geeks in the audience, a familiar face from Ford’s past shows up to ask the actor a question and that’s when things get testy.

Few people play pissed off as well as Harrison Ford who eventually launches into an expletive-filled tirade, calling the audience member a “sack of s—” and a “son of a b—” before storming off. Of course it’s all in good fun and we think you’ll get a pretty good laugh out of it.

Of course, Ford really can’t talk about ‘Star Wars: Episode 7′ as Disney and J.J. Abrams plan a big announcement for this summer, likely at 2013 Comic-Con or the D23 Expo.

Watch the clip of Harrison Ford on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ below.

I thought it was funny. You Wookie piece of shit.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Hilarious, "I'll see you in hell"... did Harrison Ford intentionally quote his line from the movies?

This routine is pretty old - he did that one a few years ago as well.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Looking at that video, it seems like Ford's finally starting to show his age. When he was pointing his finger at the guy in the Chewbacca suit, it was shaking like he had parkinson's or something. His voice sounded really "old" at some points too.

I'm starting to think that they've already waited too long to do the sequels. If even Ford's starting to show his age like that, the main three might be too old to convincingly pull off even the limited "mentor" type roles they have planned for them.

LOL they're too old to be old mentors?

so if they make his character 70 years old you think he's too old to play a 70 year old?

I watched it on TV and i'll be honest, the whole thing seemed kind of... Sad.

I mean unless Ford was in on this from the start (possible) It looks like he was sort of ambushed into this and really REALLY looked uncomfortable at the whole thing. The look on his face seemed more like "Oh dear god is this for real?"

Seriously? When the guy in the wookie costume was speaking "wookie" to Ford and Ford was responding as though he understood every word you didn't get that it he was completely in on it?

I have to echo TheHammer here. Ford was clearly in this whole thing. I actually even think that the Wookiee was supposed to be Chewbacca who had slept with "Han's" wife and Ford was pissed off about it.

Yes, that's exactly what was going on. Crossroads just seems to have completely had the joke sail over his head.
