10 Actors Who Asked For Their TV & Movie Characters To Be Killed Off

9. Harrison Ford - Star Wars

Harrison Ford was catapulted to fame playing the lovable smuggler Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise. His death at the hands of his son Ben Solo/ Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens infuriated quite a few fans.

But you shouldn't be angry. Harrison Ford himself had wanted Han Solo dead for 30 years. He believed Han Solo had served his purpose. He believed a heroic death would be a fitting end that would add emotional depth to the character. Back in 2010, Ford joked that George Lucas didn't see a future in toy sales of a dead Han Solo. Harrison Ford eventually got his wish. His death paves the way for a new crop of actors to take over the Star Wars franchise.
