Harrison Ford Accepts Disney Legends Award at D23: ‘I Love the Life You’ve Given Me’


'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' star Harrison Ford was among the A-list honorees inducted as a Disney Legend at D23.

“Before he was the captain of the Millennium, Falcon or a globetrotting archeologist, Harrison Ford was, like so many, an aspiring actor who came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams,” Iger teased to thunderous applause at the Honda Center. Ford’s acceptance speech was one of the most anticipated at the evening ceremony, which also saw “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” composer John Williams and Frank Oz — who brought Jedi master Yoda to life — inducted. The trio join George Lucas, Mark Hamill, the late Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones, Jon Favreau and Ming-Na Wen as members of the Lucasfilm tree who’ve already been enshrined.
