Harrison Ford forgot 'Star Wars' script in an apartment. Now, it is being auctioned for $13,000.

There is not a single "Star Wars" fan who is not familiar with the iconic character of Han Solo. The captain of the Millennium Falcon and leader of the Rebel Alliance in the blockbuster franchise was portrayed by Harrison Ford in 5 of "Star Wars" films and its spinoffs. But it all started for Ford back in 1976 when he was on his way to becoming a household name in Hollywood and living in a rented apartment in London while the filming of the first "Star Wars" film.

During the initial stages of the production when Ford was given an early draft of the movie's script, he accidentally left it behind at his London apartment after he moved out. The script, which was written by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, has gone up for auction, nearly 50 years after Ford had misplaced it. According to the reports of Bruce Haring from Deadline, an anonymous collector from Austria purchased the script for £10,795 (over $13,000) during a live-streamed auction organized by Excalibur Auctions.

The Excalibur Auction's official website wrote about the documents as well. "This item came from the home of a family in which Harrison Ford stayed during the filming of 'Star Wars' throughout 1976 and is likely his own copy that was left behind along with other items. The script is incomplete and unbound. Includes the scene where we first meet Chewbacca in the cantina and where Han Solo introduces the crew to the Millennium Falcon, among many other famous scenes and lines of dialogue including 'boring conversation anyway,'" the description on the document read.

They also mentioned that there were 5 drafts of the first "Star Wars" script, and this 4th revised edition gives an interesting insight into the making of one of the most important blockbuster movies ever made, including scenes and characters that were cut from the final edit. They also shared words from the vendor who handed the script over to the auction house. "The vendor recollects that in 1976 she had an advertisement in The Sunday Times 'Flat to Let.' She and her husband were looking for a lodger in their home. Harrison Ford came to see the flat and he liked it. He was an excellent tenant, and very tidy. The rent was paid by the film company," the website revealed.

However, the unnamed vendor did not know anything about the celebrities or stars of the hit film back then. Ford occupied the top two floors of their Elgin Crescent, Notting Hill residence in London. "One day their cleaner met Harrison and fainted, they were told the next day by a friend of the cleaner that she had fainted because she had never met a film star before. The vendor told them that they had someone called Harrison Ford as a tenant and admitted that she didn’t know he was a film star, when she subsequently told this to Harrison he found it amusing. Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, and Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker visited several times as well," the site added. In their words, he was an ideal tenant.

Ford's character Solo appeared in "Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope" (1977), "Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), "Star Wars: Episode VI  Return of the Jedi" (1983), "Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens" (2015), "Solo: A Star Wars Story" (2018) and "Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker" (2019). After playing the character for decades, Ford revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that his character should have died long ago. "I asked him to ask the writers to kill me off because I thought that it would be good that the character who appeared to have not so much of a complex interweaving with the theme of the Force and all that good stuff,” Ford said. “I thought it would be good of the character if he sacrificed himself in some noble way.”
