Adam Driver, Harrison Ford and a bridge too far: “Somebody reminds me about that every day”

Here’s a sobering thought: The Force Awakens arrived in cinemas eight years ago, meaning that at this point in 2015 we were at absolute red alert counting the minutes for the long-awaited return of Star Wars. That first film would break numerous box office records on its way to $2.066 billion, but a key scene in the film (SPOILER ALERT the death of Harrison Fords Han Solo at the hands of Adam Drivers Kylo Ren) has seen Driver have to field questions on that shocking scene ever since.

It’s been almost a decade since Kylo Ren killed his father, Han Solo, in the dramatic twist ending of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” But Adam Driver still hasn’t lived down that scene with Harrison Ford, telling Chris Wallace in a new interview, “Somebody reminds me about that every day.”

After Wallace responded, “Are you serious?,” Driver said, “Not every day, but yeah. It used to be more but now it’s probably once a month someone will let me know that I killed Han Solo.”

While Driver said filming the scene itself didn’t feel “tough,” it was nonetheless “very emotional shooting it with Harrison. Harrison was so generous and contemplative, and to me that was a great moment on set, even though it was his death,”
