Ridley Scott reveals that the financiers of Blade Runner had no idea who Harrison Ford was, despite the fact that the star was already Han Solo in Star Wars. The first Star Wars movie, which featured Ford’s roguish smuggler, was released in 1977, and the second came out in 1980. By the time he was cast in Scott’s 1982 dystopian sci-fi thriller, Ford had finished filming Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it had not been released yet. It debuted on June 12, 1981, months after Blade Runner began filming.
