Al Pacino Shares Hilarious Reason He Turned Down Iconic ‘Star Wars' Role
Al Pacino revealed that he turned down the role of Han Solo in Star Wars because he didn't 'understand' the script. 'I said, 'I think I'm in the mood to make Harrison Ford a career,'' the legendary actor joked to Entertainment Weekly while promoting his newest movie, The Ritual. The legendary The Godfather star recalled working with a group of directors dubbed the 'Movie Brats' in the 1960s and '70s, which included the likes of Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and Star Wars creator George Lucas. 'They were real idealists coming into the '70s with great films all over the globe,' Pacino said. But when Pacino received the Star Wars script and read it over, he said it felt like he was reading a 'different language.' 'I loved their work, but I was doing a show on Broadway at the time, and they handed me this script, and I thought, I don't understand,' he said. 'I must be [in] out of space myself.' Pacino sent the script to his 'friend and mentor' Charlie Laughton, asking him: 'What do you make of this?' 'He was pretty wise and he said, 'I don't get it, Al. I dunno. I don't get it,'' Pacino recalled. 'I said, 'Well, I don't either; what are we going to do? They offered me a fortune, but I don't know. No, I can't play something if I don't speak the language.'' And just like that, Pacino passed on the role of Han Solo in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope—a role that eventually went to Ford and solidified his place among the Hollywood greats. Yet Ford has also acknowledged that the premise of the film might appear 'odd' at first to people. 'Like, there's a seven-foot-tall man in a dog suit. There's also a beautiful princess, a wise old warrior, and a callow youth. Then, there's a smart-a--. I know the part I play. And it's fun!' he told Inquirer in 2023. Ford said that at first he thought the story was 'a fairy tale,' but that those kinds of stories have 'always been successful, whether it's a written or filmed fairy tale.' 'At that point in my career, it didn't matter to me that the film would become hugely successful and end up changing movie history,' he noted. But the Star Wars franchise propelled Ford's career, and the actor has long said how 'grateful' he is for the films and how much they 'changed my life.' 'I had opportunities that extended beyond director George Lucas and my success in making that film,' Ford said. 'It gave me freedom and opportunities that I never had imagined I might have.' Ford got the part over other soon-to-be legendary actors including Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. 'I just didn't want to play that kind of role at the time,' Reynolds told Business Insider in 2016, sharing a similar sentiment to Pacino. 'Now I regret it. I wish I would have done it.' Shortly after the release of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Ford went on to star in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, as well as in the cult-classic Blade Runner a year later. The same year as A New Hope's release, Pacino starred in Sydney Pollack's Bobby Deerfield. One year later, he starred in Norman Jewison's And Justice for All, which earned Pacino his fifth of nine (so far) Oscar nominations.

Why Caitlin Clark Refused to Sign Fan's Shirt on Saturday
Why Caitlin Clark Refused to Sign Fan's Shirt on Saturday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since her arrival on the women's basketball scene, going back to her time at Iowa, even before she was the No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft in 2024, Caitlin Clark understood the value of connecting with fans. She struggled to get her head around her job as a role model, but she was diligent about seeing to that duty. Advertisement As she said early last year, "It's hard for myself to wrap my head around (being a role model). It's crazy the way people scream my name and really support us. I try to make time for as many of them as I can. That's something that never gets old.' Clark has always seen bringing people together, on and off the floor, as part of her role. 'This isn't an individual sport," she said. "I have four other people on the court with me at the same time, I have 10 other girls on the bench. ... I don't have to score a million points every single night and I think I find peace in that. When I'm having fun and just being Caitlin, that's when things are really successful.' Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) applauds her teammates during the first half of a WNBA game against the Chicago Sky at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images But while Clark remains known for being big-hearted, she does have some boundaries. She has been out for the past two weeks because of a quad injury--the first missed time because of injury in her career--but she has still been showing up at Fever games as she rehabs. Advertisement She was on hand at the United Center on Saturday night for the Fever's victory over the Chicago Sky, and spent considerable time before the game signing autographs and taking photos with fans who had come to watch her play. But she drew the line on one thing: She was not about to autograph Sky materials. That was shown in a video on X from Saturday in which Clark signed a string of autographs only to smile and pass on signing what appeared to be a Chicago Sky-colored shirt. A post from the account, "The Indiana Fever," noted, "Caitlin Clark refused to sign the Chicago Sky merch." The fan who had tried to get her to do so, it should be pointed out, laughed it off. Advertisement Clark is hopeful of returning to the court this week, with the Fever's next game coming Tuesday in Atlanta. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
