Here's three great shots (above and below) of Harrison Ford having a little fun posing outdoors at Han Solo at the studio exterior backlot at Elstree Studios, during April 1976- one of the earliest posed photo shoots of Harrison Ford in costume, having fun with his new blaster weapon/prop. The images, of which one similar was used in J.W. Rinzler's excellent MAKING OF STAR WARS hardcover from 2007, came from a recently sold rare contact sheet from that classic time, showing us a Ford still very much a star in the raw. It is unknown who took the photograph-possibly Gary Kurtz, David Steen or John Jay?
With thanks to Chris Baker for the images.
On other things related to Han Solo, one of the big surprises of Celebration V was a new fan film about the adventures of the space pirate, alongside Chewbacca. I never got round to seeing it at the event, but everyone who saw it said it was great, and I now totally agree with them! Brilliant work and thanks to everyone who was involved in it (thanks to Andy Dukes for the link):

And then there’s that great recently re-discovered Bobbie Wygant 1977 interview with Harrison Ford, before he came to dis-own STAR WARS, that’s well worth a look:
