American actor received $20 million for his role in star wars.

Veteran Actor, Harrison Ford score big as Star Wars: The Force Awakens' hit over $300 Million at the box office on Tuesday, December 23, 2015. According to Dailymail, the actor is said to have received a whooping sum of $20 million for his role as 'Han Solo' in the movie.

Ford who played the same role in 1977, has been acting for over six decades and has starred in blockbusters like Airforce One, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Expendables 3 and other movies.

The actor is the highest paid actor for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Dailymail also noted that Co-stars, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were paid in the low seven-figure range, though of course the former can surely boost his coffers by a much higher amount if he has a bigger role in future entries. Disney are said to have decided to create a 'legacy pay scale' for the original trilogy stars, while newcomers would get much less on a general pay scale. 

In this effect, Nigerian-British actor- John Boyega and Daisy Ridley  received between $100,000 -$300,000 for their roles while more established names Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac got paid in the mid-to-high-six figures range.
