Ford said, "As a character he was not so interesting to me. I thought he should have died in the last one, just to give it some bottom."
He added, "But George didn't think there was any future in dead Han toys."
So, I guess what Ford is saying is capitalism saved Han Solo, and considering Ford's political stand, well, why am I not surprised? I guess Lucas, who obviously has enjoyed what capitalism has offered him, could make a new version using computers in which Solo drops into that nasty opening on Tatooine.
