If you're going to hire Harrison Ford to play Han Solo in your movie, you damn well better make good use of him. Alas, it looks like the Corellian smuggler will be playing a more diminished role than even Michael Arndt's script would have had him, as the actor suffered a leg injury during filming a few months ago and shooting had to be delayed more than once in order to rework the schedule. And reworked it was, albeit with Ford reportedly having some of his lines cut and Oscar Isaac being given a somewhat expanded role in the film, lending weight to the rumours that the younger actor will be playing a charming, roguish Solo type. That's certainly no bad thing, especially with an actor of Isaac's caliber in the role, but it's hardly a substitute for the real thing, is it?
