The actor didn’t want to get into specifics, he said.

“You know, with Carrie’s untimely passing, I don’t really feel that it’s a subject that I want to discuss,” Ford told the publication.

Before her death, Fisher talked to People magazine about her relationship with Ford.

“It was so intense,” she said. “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”
