#469: Improvised explain

Improvised

[Caption above the panels:]

Harrison Ford famously improvised his “I know” line in E.S.B. Here are a few of his less-successful ad-libs:

[Harrison Ford as Han Solo (in all the panels) stands in front of Princess Leia on the Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber.]

Leia: I love you.

Han: Well, duh.

[Han Solo in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.]

C-3P0: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3720 to 1!

Han: Seriously? …Christ.

[Han Solo stands in front of Princess Leia on the Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber.]

Leia: I love you.

Han: Oh! Hey, that explains the kissing earlier.

[Han Solo stands in front of Princess Leia on the Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber.]

Leia: I love you.

Han: I’m nailing your brother.

[Han Solo standing in front of Luke Skywalker, who is holding a blast shield helmet and a lightsaber. The training droid hovers between them.]

Han: Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for scissors, though they do beat paper and rock.

[Han Solo stands in front of Princess Leia on the Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber.]

Leia: I love you.

Han: Cool. Listen, this thing is really, really cold.

[Han Solo stands in front of Princess Leia on the Cloud City Carbon Freezing Chamber.]

Leia: I love you.

Han: Wowzers.

[Han Solo sits with two others. General Madine approaches.]

Madine: General Solo, is your strike team assembled?

Han: Barely. They’re pretty drunk.

[Han Solo and Princess Leia stand in an Ice Tunnel of Hoth.]

Leia: I’d just as soon kiss a wookie.

Han: Man, me too but Chewie never seems interested. Maybe I should grow my hair out.
