Harrison Ford was in his mid-30s during the original Star Wars films; most commonly cited figures place him at 34–35 when A New Hope (1977) was filmed and released, with his age progressing to 37 and 40 across The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983) respectively. In later films, he was in his early 70s during filming of The Force Awakens (2015). These ages align with Ford’s birth year of 1942 and the filming/release timelines for the Star Wars episodes.
