What You Missed at the 'Star Wars' 40th Anniversary Panel at Star Wars Celebration3 of 18
Surprise Landing
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the entrance of Harrison Ford, who made his first appearance at a Star Wars Celebration. Ford might have received the heartiest applause at event. Folks on stage didn't hesitate to welcome him with a little ribbing. "I can't believe we managed to keep it a secret ... given you've landed your plane on I-4," said Warwick Davis, who couldn't resist teasing Ford about a recent piloting incident that has landed him in the news. "It was a good landing," Ford quickly retorted, to the applause and laughter of the crowd. Later, during an exchange with George Lucas about how he nabbed the role of Han Solo, Ford explained he was asked by Lucas: "Do you know how to fly?" Ford revealed his answer: "Fly? Yeah! … Land?!"
