What are you?” Ford asked Kimmel on _Jimmy Kimmel Live_. “I’m your lover, you don’t remember me from the ’70s? We had quite a thing,” Kimmel replied. Princess Leia was Han Solo’s, played by Harrison Ford, love interest in _Star Wars_. Ford stayed mum on details about _Star Wars: The Force Awakens,_ set to open in the U.S. in December, but he would say this: “It’s very, very good. The new cast… is phenomenal. J.J. \[Abrams\] has made an incredible movie, you will not be disappointed. I promise.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4094053/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel-star-wars/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4094053/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel-star-wars/"},"headline":"Harrison Ford Dressed As A Hot Dog To Talk to Jimmy Kimmel's Princess Leia","datePublished":"2015-10-30T11:56:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:13:16.508Z","description":"It was awkward when Harrison Ford didn't recognize Jimmy Kimmel dressed as Princess Leia","url":"https://time.com/4094053/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel-star-wars/","keywords":["Television","movies","Jimmy Kimmel","harrison ford"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltecc70fad1046beea/69886ee70a4a22171c9c6d0f/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltecc70fad1046beea/69886ee70a4a22171c9c6d0f/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harrison Ford Hot Dog","caption":"Harrison Ford Hot Dog","creditText":"ABC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4094053/harrison-ford-jimmy-kimmel-star-wars/","name":"Harrison Ford Dressed As A Hot Dog To Talk to Jimmy Kimmel's Princess Leia"}}]}] ```
