I am told by **New & Improved Scott** that it is properly not a stormtrooper at all, but I say it’s close enough. The Imperial soldier in question is the one who finds Leia when she’s sitting on the log with the first ewok she meets in **Return of the Jedi**. He speaks in, I swear, Harrison Ford’s voice. Was he just filling in for an extra? Or am I crazy? ---

The two aren’t mutually exclusive… 🙂 ---

You think that’s bad? I was playing Jedi Academy and met Chewie. Then I heard a voice that sounded like Harrison Ford’s so I though “Oh good Han’s come to help us out” Then I proceeded to get killed by the guy I thought was Han. They shouldn’t do that to you! ---

He did Callista Flockhart, so anything is possible. ---

Pretty sure I am crazy… but the voices agree, that was Harrison Ford… Happy Revenge of the Sixth, from; Die Zukunft ---

Was it a zombie stormtrooper? 🙂 On a related note, it’s widely rumoured that Daniel Craig voices a stormtrooper in The Force Awakens. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk ---

I realize this is a zombie, but in the linked scene from A New Hope, when Luke and Han enter the garrison to rescue Leia, when Han responds to the radio call regarding blaster fire, he uses a slightly effeminate voice. My wife says it’s Han’s gay voice. Do you think that was Ford’s intention back in 1977? [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTBAeXPd8nk) ---

I’ve posted this link before, but the dude narrating the 1979 trailer for [The Empire Strikes Back](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LuGkTtITQE) might sound familiar. I would’ve loved to have seen his face in the booth while he was recording the V/O – especially the last 30 seconds or so. ---

Doesn’t sound familiar to me. Well, he does, because I’ve heard that voice on lots of commercials — but I have no idea who it is. Little help? ---
