Harrison Ford made a reference to his iconic Star Wars line during the acceptance speech of his Disney Legends award.

The House of Mouse recently bestowed the prestigious award to iconic entertainers who made artistic contributions to the company including Ford, who is known for his work in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and soon the MCU.

There is no doubt that the iconic A-lister deserved the Hall of Fame award given his decades-spanning memorable roles that resonated with generations of moviegoers up to this day.

During his acceptance speech at the Disney Legends event, Ford made a reference to his infamous improvised line in The Empire Strikes Back.

One of the most famous lines in Star Wars history is the exchange between Leia and Han Solo where the former says "I love you" and the latter responds with "I know."

Han was supposedly going to respond with "I love you too," but Ford instead improvised his character's response.

For his Disney Legends speech, Ford finally said the original line when he honored his Star Wars role.

"I have the privilege of being a storyteller. The stories are for you. About you. About us. I love you too," he said.

It is cool to hear Ford finally play the original version of his iconic Star Wars line after many years and it shows how much he is still appreciative of the fans' love for his role as Han Solo.

While it is unlikely that Ford will reprise the role again in the future, at the very least, we have this special moment that fans will cherish in addition to his decades of work in the franchise.
