#469: Improvised explain
[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: 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.
