Oh. From the thread title, I was thinking Ford agreed to play Han Solo again.
Can you imagine the horrible dialogue that Lucas would put us through?
Han: I have sand in all sorts of places.
Chewbacca: Rooooooooooowr!
Han: You said it Chewy.
As far as the Branch Rickey movie goes, I'm all in. I read a biography of him back in college for a project; he was a baseball visionary, and in addition to the color barrier, Rickey was the architect behind the modern day farm system, and has done so many things to encourage charity within the game. He's a great guy and either Ford or Redford would be great in that role.
