Harrison Ford suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries after crash-landing his vintage plane on a golf course in LA.
Luckily, it seems as though Ford’s time captaining the Millennium Falcon as Han Solo taught him to avert disaster…so that meant everyone could make jokes about it on Twitter.
Solo might have wished Lando Calrissian was around to save him from the notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett
Han Solo was always confident in his pilot abilities
Lots of fans envisaged the Millennium Falcon crashing instead
Hans Solo was frozen in carbonite on Darth Vader’s orders
When the Millennium Falcon lost lateral controls, Han Solo knew everything would be okay
Ford also played the globe-trotting archeologist Indiana Jones in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark
One fan joked that the infamous American news anchor Brian Williams, who falsely claimed he had been shot down in a helicopter in Iraq, might add this event to his distorted memory
