Solo: A Star Wars Story’s Alden Ehrenreich ‘told NOT to do impression of Harrison Ford’
The film is a prequel for the iconic character of Han Solo, made famous by Ford in the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as 2015’s The Force Awakens.
Now, Ehrenreich is playing his younger self – and director Ron Howard has said that embodying the character didn’t necessarily mean trying to imitate Ford.
“It was always clear from the beginning, before I was involved, that it was not going to be an impression of Harrison,” he explained to Empire.
“No-one wanted that. Part of Han Solo’s character is sort of a vibe and a feel and a body language.”
Ehrenreich himself has also recently spoken about the difference in tone between Solo and the main saga films.
“It has a lot of jokes,” he told the Star Wars Show on YouTube. “A lot of humour.
“You spend more time dealing with feelings and the inner life of the characters. All of the characters, in a way.”
On where Han is in his life, he explained: “I think you’re meeting him at a time when he’s young and he’s an idealist.
“He still has kind of a romantic vision or feeling that he’s gonna get out of this.
“He grew up in rough circumstances so [he’s focussed on] getting out of that and making a life for himself.”
Ehrenreich is joined by Donald Glover as a younger Lando Calrissian, and the actor and musician said that his status as a huge Star Wars fan served him well in his performance.
“You tend to do a better job when you’re a fan,” he reasoned. “You have standards.”
Joining the duo in the ensemble are Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Woody Harrelson, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Paul Bettany.
Solo: A Star Wars Story is out on May 25.
