Turns out that famed actor, Al Pacino, could have had a totally different career than the one he currently has if only he had agreed to play the role of Han Solo in STAR WARS EPISODE IV!
Famous for movies like THE GODFATHER, Al Pacino was one of the actors approached to play Han Solo, but turned it down. His reason for declining what became the career-changing role for Harrison Ford? He didn’t understand the script!
Alongside Pacino, George Lucas also was considering Jack Nicholson, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray with Harrison Ford not even making the top ten! Lucky for Ford, none of the actors worked out and he got the role launching his Hollywood career and making him a fan favourite.
Still, we can’t help but wonder what the original STAR WARS trilogy would have been like with Al Pacino as Han Solo!
