Harrison Ford Met Jack Sparrow And It Was Amazing

One’s a space pirate and captain of a legendarily fast space craft, while the other’s a sea pirate and captain of a legendarily fast ship, so when Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp met at D23 over the weekend, the internet went into meltdown.

The pair were at Disney’s official fan convention in California to promote ‘Star Wars 7′ and ‘Pirates 5′, and luckily there were cameras present when Captain Solo of the Millennium Falcon embraced Captain Sparrow of the Black Pearl.

We imagine they argued about whose ship was faster (it’s obviously the Falcon) or who was more adept at smuggling (probably Sparrow), or more likely, they compared paycheques (both astronomical).

‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’ recently finished shooting in Australia and will be released in July 2017, while ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ will hit cinemas this December.

Combined with the raft of live action animated updates - ‘The Jungle Book’, ‘Pete’s Dragon’ etc, plus all the upcoming Marvel and Pixar films, it looks like Disney has a monopoly over blockbusting movies for the foreseeable future, so we imagine there was plenty of back-slapping going on back stage at D23.
