In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on the host’s chat show, Ford was asked if donning the costume for Han Solo brought back memories.

For a guy who’s been promoting “Star Wars” for basically his entire life, Harrison Ford has a truly remarkable gift for making the franchise feel fresh… and weird. There, Ford discussed seeing The Force Awakens for the first time and whether he’d play Indiana Jones for a fifth time; on Jimmy Fallon’s show, he took a shot. “That’s what you get for having an amateur mohel”.
But THR reports that Lord and Miller are taking “a 180-degree turn” from J.J. Abrams’ strategy of casting mostly unknowns for the new roles in “The Force Awakens” (John Boyega found attention with the 2011 British sci-fi film “Attack the Block”). However, more comedy ensued.
“Something fell on you and broke on your leg?” “Abrams”, they explained what happened using a Hot Toys figure of Han Solo… and Ford totally loses it. During the process of his explanation, Ford ended up breaking off both legs of the doll and ripping off its trousers despite Fallon protesting that it was a collector’s item.
“Did you get emotional when you put the Han Solo wardrobe on?”

“No… I got paid”, Ford shot back, to uproarious laughter from the audience. Ford ripped the doll’s left foot clean off, followed by part of its head and its trousers, revealing one of those pubic bulges male dolls have in lieu of genitals.
