The 70-year-old actor said that he is keen to take part and can&#39;t wait to get started, reported Contactmusic. Ford has not signed a contract to reprise his role as Han Solo, who he played in the original trilogy from 1977 to 1983, in the forthcoming new films in the series. <img alt="Harrison Ford" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/Harrison_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 419px;" /> Harrison Ford &quot;I think it&#39;s almost true, I&#39;m looking forward to it. It&#39;s not in the bag yet, but I think it&#39;s happening,&quot; Ford said. George Lucas, who sold the franchise to Disney last year, but will take on a consultancy role for &#39;Episode VII&#39;, has previously said that he has asked original &#39;Star Wars&#39; trilogy cast members- Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher to reprise their iconic roles. &quot;We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison - or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, &#39;Look, this is what&#39;s going on&#39;. Maybe I&#39;m not supposed to say that. I think they want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them,&quot; Lucas had said.

Actor Harrison Ford is looking forward to reprise his 'Star Wars' role as Han Solo in the forthcoming extension of the franchise.
