The statement suggests the possibility that Al Pacino was considered for a role in the Star Wars film.
According to recent news, Al Pacino disclosed that he had declined the opportunity to appear in George Lucas’ Star Wars in the past.
Variety reports that during a talk at The 92nd Street Y in New York, the respected actor shared that he turned down the role of Han Solo at the beginning of his career. “Well, I turned down ‘Star Wars.’ I was the new kid on the block when I first came up. You know what happens when you first become famous. It’s like, ‘Give it to Al.’ They’d give me Queen Elizabeth to play,” Al Pacino said.
“They gave me a script called ‘Star Wars.’ … They offered me so much money. I don’t understand it. I read it. … So I said I couldn’t do it. I gave Harrison Ford a career,” He was referring to how Ford’s portrayal of Solo helped him gain recognition among a larger audience.
