Harrison Ford is my 141st pick to be named a Disney Legend. He is best
known for his roles as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy, and as
Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones film series, both collaborating with George
Lucas. He reprises his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He set to star in the upcoming Indiana Jones 5. The official release date has been set for July 19, 2019,
following a statement from Disney chairman Alan Horn. It read: “Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in
cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019.
He also played Quinn Harris in the 1998 Touchstone Pictures
film Six Days Seven Nights. He appeared in the TV special Disneyland's 60th Anniversary to give a preview of the Star Wars lands coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts.
I was quite surprised that Disney announced this year that Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill would be named Disney Legends but did not name Harrison Ford or James Earl Jones. Ford and Jones actually have more impressive Disney resumes and are bigger cultural icons than Fisher or Hamill. I also wonder if Ford was not named due to his broken leg episode from Force Awakens and the subsequent lawsuit.
