Solo: A Star Wars Story got some major buzz this week after the world premiere in Hollywood on Thursday night. The cast and crew were on hand to watch the film for the first time, sign autographs for fans, and, of course, discuss Solo with the media.
During one particular interview with Entertainment Tonight, Alden Ehrenreich, who the plays titular character, got more than he bargained for. While telling the story of how he had lunch with Harrison Ford after being cast in Solo, Ford himself strolled into the room unexpectedly behind Alden, jokingly telling the younger actor to get out of his chair. Solo director Ron Howard was also there to witness the legendary meeting. You can check it out for yourself below(From multiple angles):

In addition to this, at the Solo press conference earlier today, Ehrenreich explained that during their interaction Harrison told him that he had seen the film and "loved" it:

Alden says Harrison Ford was effusive about the film. “It meant a lot to me that he came out here to tell me he loved it.” pic.twitter.com/PO1q9JwCDu— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) May 12, 2018
Harrison Ford was conspicuously absent from the Solo premiere this week, but it's nice to see him show support to Alden and speak highly of the film. If Han Solo liked the Han Solo movie, then it must be good, right?
