While we’re the grateful recipients of all the hard work and craft put in to these films by Lucasfilm cast and crews across the decades, we sometimes have to remember that for those folks this is real life. Take Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan; the last time they met was almost 40 years ago, after filming the iconic Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, so imagine the thoughts going through the mind of Ke as he is about to be reunited with Ford at this summers D23 Expo in Anaheim.

“We were at the D23 event and I was told Harrison was gonna be there. We’re in this green room with so many actors, producers, and directors, and the person who was assigned to assist me said, ‘Harrison Ford is right outside the green room. Would you want to go say hi?’
“I’m thinking, ‘Of course! I haven’t seen him in 38 years, so I walk out and I see him about 15 feet away talking to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, they’re there to promote ‘Indy 5.’ And as I walk close, my heart is pounding. I’m thinking, ‘Is he gonna recognize me? The last time he saw me, I was a little kid.’”
“As I get closer, he turns and points his finger at me, and he has that classic, famous, grumpy Harrison Ford look. I go, ‘Oh my gosh, he probably thinks I’m a fan and he’s gonna tell me to not come near him.’ But he looks and points at me and says, ‘Are you Short Round?’ Immediately, I was transported back to 1984, when I was a little kid, and I said, ‘Yes, Indy.’ And he said, ‘Come here,’ and gave me a big hug.”
