However, Lucas wasn't too disappointed with Ford's decision as he was already developing an idea for a fourth Indiana Jones movie with Steven Spielberg.A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "George wanted Harrison to play Indy but cleverly sounded him out about playing Hans Solo instead. "Harrison was horrified. After that he was delighted to be playing Indy again. He told George he just couldn't face being stuck in a spaceship with Chewbacca again." Ford will still receive £20 million for donning his famous fedora hat once again and embarking on a final adventure as the whip-cracking character.Ford and Lucas announced that they were making a fourth 'Indiana Jones' film earlier this month. The movie, which Lucas will produce and Spielberg will direct, is due to be released in 2008, 19 years after Ford last appeared as thrill-seeking Indy in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'.

I doubt this story is true as Lucas has no plans of making any further Star Wars films and at 64, there is no way that Mr Ford would have been able to play a 10 year old in the last prequel!
