But sometimes, no matter how good and hot you are, you should leave well enough alone. And this rule, we're afraid, applies to the actor's decision to reprise the role of Han Solo for JJ Abrams' upcoming Star Wars project, Episode VII.
Now, it might be we're getting our knickers in a twist over nothing. Reports so far suggest he's signed up, but Latino Review don't detail whether Ford's appearance would be a substantial role or a simple cameo. So we'll state now that a cameo is something the Geeky Girls are wholly on board with - excited about, even.
But a substantial part? No. We can't sanction that.
Why? You ask.
Erm, did you see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? That's your answer right there, friends.*
Of course, the car crash that was the last Indy movie wasn't totally poor Harry's fault, but there's no arguing it proved he's past his action hero days - cool 90s earring or no. We'll admit he didn't fare too badly in Cowboys & Aliens, and the guy delivers a witty one-liner like few others, but we just don't think he's going to be able to recreate the magic of roguish charmer and dreamboat Han at 71.
Take our advice Harrison, keep it simple. A small scene and a few lines would be perfect. But stay away from the blasters.
*For the record, this argument also applies to Indiana Jones 5.
