I love Harrison Ford and his iconic roles but... I've never been that impressed with his acting abilities in moments like this. He does action well, has a decent sense of comedic timing and plays certain roles well (it's no coincidence that Han Solo and Indiana Jones are both likeable rogue types) but he really doesn't have a great range of facial expressions. The whole knitted-brow-slightly-open-mouth stunned buffalo look gets a lot of play. Too much, IMO.

Ford is a bad actor tbh.

ayrt - I wouldn't go so far as to say that. I think he does very well, but in a limited range. Who'd be a better Indiana Jones than Harrison Ford? He was great! But it wasn't a role with lots of emotional complexities that needed to be conveyed by a single person, so Ford did just fine.

But the TFA scene needed a father whose heart had been torn in two. On the one hand, you love your son and you never want to give up on him as long as there's the slightest chance he'll come back to you. The love of your life has her hopes riding on your ability to reach this boy. You feel guilty because you can't shake the fear that you were responsible for his turning to the Dark Side. As irrational as it might be, you're probably also angry at Luke, one of your oldest friends and your BIL, but at the same time you feel terrible for blaming him, too. And you have to live with the fact that the boy you raised is a cold blooded murderer and that even if he relents now, he (and all of you) will have to live with that for the rest of your lives.

THAT is what Han Solo needed to convey in that scene. Harrison Ford couldn't do it-- not because he's a bad actor, but simply because it was one hell of a tough job and Ford wasn't good enough.
