Harrison Ford also argued that Solo should die, because it would increase the utility of the character. By all accounts, even his own, Ford thoroughly enjoyed the movie and working on it:

Well, You don't think that Alec Guiness's opinion on the movie series was somewhat improved after he learned that Star Wars was a box office smash that would make him obscenely wealthy?

Harrison Ford, I think cared only about Star Wars for the boost to his career that it got him. He probably enjoyed making the movie like you say. I think he got pretty tired of the fan cult surrounding the films after a while.

Again, I like the original films. I think they are fun. I don't think they are flawless, and while I'm not saying that you are disliking The Last Jedi for the reasons I stated in my first post, that is definitely happening, and in great numbers.

When you go online and read fan reviews, a large number of them are typed out in ALL CAPS RAGE, going off about how Luke Skywalker would have never done this or that.

Fans are claiming its a total affront to the Star Wars legacy. I think its undeniable that much of the dislike for this movie from some angles is rooted in it being offensive to some of the fandom that have strong feelings on how Star Wars should go.
