Oh man, I'm not a Star Wars fan at all, but anything that keeps Harrison Ford on the talk show circuit is fine with me. He's just hilarious.
 
Harrison just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Hollywood culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Broadway where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in cinema, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Star Wards nerds, after seeing this, are not going to want to watch TFA, nor will they purchase any Star Wards merchandise. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Harrison has alienated an entire market with this move.

Ford, publicly apologize and cancel TFA or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Hahahahaha. Harrison Ford has been gold on late night and having Jordan Schlansky on the bit made it all the better. Also now I feel like I should watch Coco again but Colbert and the daily show take up my late night viewing instead.

Watching Ford doing promos for this film has maybe been my favorite part of the entire hype cycle. Dude is fucking hilarious.

That first bit about the lightsaber had me rolling on the floor laughing. Is it weird that I know EXACTLY what that dude was talking about? A couple of friends at the RPF (replica prop forum) were geeking out when that guy steps out and asks the lightsaber question but in the end they genuinely wanted to know the answer so they could modify their spare graflex sabers.

Maybe
 
This is the first time in a long time that Harrison looks like he's having a fantastic time promoting a movie he actually gives a shit about.

It's so, so great.
 
Is there more Conan Star Wars stuff? Or other Ford stuff like this easily available? Aside from what was already posted.

Back when he was on Late Night there was a hilarious bit where they did a remote at Skywalker Ranch and Jordan used the Indiana Jones bullwhip in the hall of antiquities.
