(Image: Lucasfilm ) BY CARISSA LOETHEN AND CHRISTINE SLUSSER                                     Harrison Ford is rumored to reprise his role as the infamous smuggler Han Solo for "Star Wars: Episode VII." Latino-Review broke the news to Fox News Latino: "It’s official. Harrison Ford will reprise his role in the upcoming Star Wars movies." Latino Review emphasized it triple checked with multiple legitimate sources....but Entertainment Weekly’s reporter Geoff Boucher tweeted to fans -- not so fast! He wrote: " Harrison Ford deal? My source says not yet. 'It will not be for weeks and perhaps months.'" The buzz must have brought the force to a writer for The Huffington Post -- who says at least ONE thing fans can be sure about: " Some of the news has been confirmed (J.J. Abrams will direct the next installment in the franchise), while others have not (Disney still hasn't locked down any of the rumored standalone films..." ...Harrison Ford originally wanted to kill off Han Solo at the end of Episode VI -- but George Lucas decided against it  because of financial reasons-- and now we’re sure glad he did. Star Wars:  "Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millenium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system." And who doesn't love the scruffy looking Harrison Ford? He was listed as the 2nd most valuable actor of all time by the Website 24/7 Wall Street : WSYR has more: "The Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises helped his movies make about seven and a half billion... or 218 million per film." Yep, he’s a pretty  big deal. But not everyone is jumping up and down about the idea of his return as Solo. A writer for io9 writes : "...does anyone else think bringing back any of the original trilogy characters is a terrible idea besides me? … I'd rather remember my childhood heroes as young and vibrant ... not hideously old." A couple others agree -- commenting on nerdist.com saying Ford may just be a bit old for the role now. Harrison Ford turns 71 this July. But hey, old man Ford was 66 years old when reprised his role of Dr. Jones in 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
